Dashwood Pass
Oaro August gray gravel surf
Oh David what do you do
to make the girls go for
you?
And then I'm trying not to spill
coffee over myself on the enthusiastic
curves
going to the river
"Me Myself and I" — We memorise
railway houses lighting up
Do the heaters work?
The ladies from Blenheim
have their tartan rugs just in case
David — what did they do
to make the leather armchairs so
uncomfortable?
And in the '75 painting I sold
school holiday soggy sunsets lift off
Kaikoura snow
country train
intimate
I'm painting for you
