Wind Song 2

A gull conducting
far below
numberless
movement in green

All asway in
symphonic sympathy
invisible rhythms
break on blades
beat on boughs

Keeping time with
god's breath
on a distant
butterfly's wing

Time & Tide 2

Time and tide
Through salted mudflats
Hydro-sulfide stink
Heated mushroom reek
Pukeko wade
In bright red boots

While mangroves
Wait and weep
Waxed green tears
For the regular
Infidelity of
Time and tide

Nightingale Floor Heart

You steal across,
My
Nightingale floor
Heart

But creaking sighs,
Are
Tired purposeless
Noise

Alarms inside,
Don't
Stop your sneaking
Out
