Hamilton Gardens
from the Blue Book
ponga view
the river runs
through 182
gravestones
the morning sun
on each cold face 184
gravestones
at the theatre
rows of seats 185
graveyard
only a chain fence between
life and death 186
a tramp
preferring the silence
of the graveyard 187
graveyard
the dead still wanting
the lawns mowed 188
peaceful woodland
yells of the children
at the river 189
Sasha's seat
trees flank the river
beyond the path 190
cradling a mantis
in her hands
girl at prayer 191
tea house eaves
rain hits the pond
in a line 192
heavy rain
the Italian fountain
joyous 193
raked stones
the gardener
walks backwards 194
Japanese garden-
camellia petals
fall discretely 197
flies rest
in the tea house
autumn rain 198
