Caroline Mavis Caddy Poems

Someone said
that working through difficult equations
was like walking
in a pure and beautiful landscape –
...

Be precise
authority is magic.
When you think you've got it straight
wax wane declination
...

Like buying a ticket inland
to barely understandable provinces
with no language at all I bargain and pay
...

It's something they carry with them
- explorers night shifts seamen -
like a good pair of binoculars
or a camera case
...
