Travel
From the Blue Book
crashing surf
a West Coast welcome
weka in the rain 618
that tree
deserving of
a kotuku 624
dinner guests
the sandflies disinterest
in my noodles 626
so good
Chinese restaurant
empties all buses 627
Te Anau sunset
a wasp teeters on
the glass 628
mountain glory
five hundred sheep
ignore it 629
Milford Sound
the buzzing of
flying things 637
Te Namu
the price of beauty
now made of steel 648
dawn fog
covers quarrelling birds
the tea tastes bitter 649
understanding time
mountain flowers bloom
while they can 653
I see the wind
the transparency
of young blossoms 654
autumn rain
drying clothes like
a damp gallery 655
winter sky
the changing sound of raindrops
on every leaf 656
winter sky
sound of the raindrop changes
leaf to leaf 656B
fruit vendor
talking up delights
she doesn't have 663
interminable heat
a day returned
with summer rain 664
apple blossom
is this the Tsar's favourite
bottle of vodka? 665
an absent moon
the sensor light
goes out 667
