Silent Current
From the Book of Seven Syllables
silent current
woolly jerseys pass
on a yacht 613
between seasons
eucalyptus leaves swirl
a secret design 614v
waterfowl call
harekeke waves
block the view 615
spring bird
a thorough inspection
of winter field 617
just pink
sharing a smile
with the camellia 618
warmer days
winter abandoned
in the wheelbarrow 622
sunlight
caught again
in the web 626v
spring day
beside the camellia blooms
we talk of death 628
uninvited
tui tells me
of the day 632v
road of dust
morning shadows
hold spring dew 633
Dad sleeps
noticing how old
the fence is 634
rainy day
the sparrows
cast down 636
spring leaves
midges dance away
the afternoon 637
