1.
The poem
in the forest depths
the coil of koru.

2.
Low lighting, the quilt
a thousand dusks.

3.
Capturing fleeting smiles,
silverfish, you
between sheets, pages.

4.
What will it be today?
bitter grapefruit
morning/afternoon.

5.
3am rest stop, he’s day glo
lit by cigarette.

6.
Skipping to the end
(possibly dancing).

7.
In the beginning, words, light
feathers, ancient quills

8.
Divine, our names
in calligraphy
a love scene:
The poem
on a grain of rice
such a seed
(so intricate).
