Ten past eight.

Quarter past nine.

Ten twenty.

the river and me

Nile, Rhine, Yangtze, Waingawa, Tongariro, Mississippi, Thames. There are many rivers that stay with me.
And crossing a wide one is like an extra birthday.

blue stars

... And stars hang like pretty teenagers

waiting for their chance

Text: excerpt of my poem 'The Great Rann'

fly, fly

Last night, we looked at fields of stars from our field of grass.
 Two satellites were seen. One shooting star. New wind,

after hot stillness. And the sprinklers ran overnight

on the neighbouring pastures.
