Hattie is wearing pink
This scrumptious May day it's ten to five
I've put the very last of my stuff
together to take into H & R Block
Had the windows wide open, and when I
turn around THERE...
My candle on the sill is alive.Backlit
Light so low the lawn is black
All those trees above my shed are going
to be chopped down for the new Hospice.
All the polars
The big pine
The adult pohutukawa
The lovable macrocarpa
Nobody in Newtown knows what it's going to
look like from where I live.
Grab my camera and draw
Hattie ringing me in Amsterdam.
"It's spring here.
I'm running around in a dress that's pink
yellow and mauve and green and blue."
Tramcars. Good coffee. Wild red hair.
