Kia ora Koutou, here’s a poem…

Like the moon sailing

 

You move soft and slow

through the dark house

you touch the table

you got cheap that day

you were looking for a pot

and maybe a mirror.

That print you bought.

‘A Rita Angus,’ you marvel.

‘She’s famous?’ he asks,

tries to up the price.

And in the black jar

there’s the yellow rose

leaning towards you

confidentially…

 

this is your time

in the same world

as everyone else

like the moon sailing…
