SOLOMONS GIFT
The dawn of man
saw the dusk of
war
I want what you have
forever more
dusk
A world-time of loss
propagandered as gain
nations reflecting
the desire of Cain
scything the harvest of fear
killing the gift of care
fear
Solomons gift
was a crown
happiness all around
for high rank and low
he shared his wealth
a crown
A king
with the reigns of peace
and the earth
with itching ears
but who will share their gifts
the crown of care
to wear
Dusk, fear, a crown to wear
or happines a crown to share?

• Poem 2
WAKA HUIA SNAPSHOTS OF PICTON
Waka huia sailing by cargoing treasure
people with snapshot memories
links to other lands
Salt spray shaker, sprinkling the road
with verdant hitch-hikers
scanning, scanning, thumbing by.
Boar skin hill with fire grazed stubble chin
prickled high against
blue, blue, feathered sky.
Silent boats gazing down
reflecting on fluid mirrors
still, still, chrystal waters.
Sphinx
mountain pyramids
dipping down to lynx the Sounds.
Treasure box snapshots
reflections to reflect upon
linking files to Picton.
