Misreading can be
enjoyable. The other
day, I misread
graves: Mother. Waiter.

life is a song
Thirty years ago today, I married. I still love
that person, but we now live, play, sing, love
in different homes.

way
In a few days, it's a national holiday here in New Zealand, when people honor those who died in the world wars, but I would like to honor those who work to end wars, large and small, who work to prevent them, and I think of A J Muste who said that there is no way to peace - peace is the way.

make something
The Chinese word for crisis
includes the word opportunity:
maybe start over and make
something new.

Eketahuna has to be one
of my favo(u)rite words/
names, sounds, for a town,
and here is an entrance.

white light
Some days, the light
is so bright and white
that we might disappear into it.

white kiwi
Maybe the bird guards us and trees
for millions of years.
They stay with the same mate,
sleep with beak tucked,
make two balls of hair in the daylight.

looking at a lily
You know you love something
when you see it
in yet another way.
