In the surgeon’s voice
the tapping
of his mallet

Month: December 2014
among footnotes a religion flowers and spreads
before the rain the hills a necklace of flames
first rain
in record drought
earth’s fragrance
midnight thunderstorm
her face in the lightning flash
suddenly closer
the time we are given…
sparks rise through darkness
to join the stars
weeping plums –
another fight
about nothing
(previously appeared in the May 2014 issue of a fine line, the magazine of the New Zealand Poetry Society)
holiday lights
the truth emerges
from dad's muddy bootprints
