ForestTotem

After the devastation of the harvested forest,

there rises the totem of new growth

it is thus

a continuum

ad infinite

'Poetry is when you make new things familiar and familiar things new'

Spring
the other evening I walked into the garden
and, using a knife, I cut a bunch of silverbeet stalks
took them inside, cut them up and washed them
leaving them in the water for a while
I returned to find this beautiful
and intense colour experience

I am grateful for all I receive,
especially small mercies
and visual surprises

'The Poet and the cook, both nourish the world'
