Winters Eve
from the Blue Book
southerly
my poor bones
rice paper 380
winters eve
lavender horizon
last look 381
chill wind
finally
finally 383
spring birds
weaving the sky
with Mozart 384
grinning into
the winter wind
hobo 385
raw edge
the winter lake's
receding beauty 386
few visitors
opening the door
to the winter sun 387
few visitors
the winter sun
opens the door 387A
this life
smelling the garden's
rich soil 388
frigid mountains
celebrating
sunset 389
sunset
the frigid mountains
celebrate 389A
woven tight
a strand of her hair
in the web 390
boats
silver lake
snail trails 391
pine cones
men clumped around
the fire 392
wet ghosts
passing me by
bus window 393
ghosts
passing in the rain
bus window 393A
last season
upturned chairs
fill the room 394
Acacia Bay
the coloured tarps
of winter boats 396
winter
red becomes brown
brown grey 397
storm front
searching the cupboards
for chicken soup 400
after the rain
a starlings land
of worm feeding 401
Whakaipo Bay
free massage
cattle stop 403
frog stump
clinging to
soft mosses 404
skimming waves
a tail wind
heron 405
three fantails
life cycle stuck
on tumble dry 406
three fantails
stuck on
tumble dry 406A
sea swell
floating bird
sea swell 407
spring break
the perfect
ku 410
