graffiti walls –
no memories of
a plain blue sky
no memories of
a plain blue sky
handwoven sky
the thread-knots
on her tunic
the thread-knots
on her tunic
train window–
a raindrop stretches
into eternity
a raindrop stretches
into eternity
beetle drone . . .
the gleaming dome
of Dad's coffin
the gleaming dome
of Dad's coffin
traffic snarl -
I remember the song
of estuaries
I remember the song
of estuaries
fading moon . . .
the head count ritual
of stolen children
^
the way pink orchids
blossom into periwinkles
heresy…
*
autumn whirlwind –
a child grabs at her
candy floss
