Jan FitzGerald Poems

When I die

When I die make me a nest,
a hay-bed
...

Cows crossing

Cows slow the car to an indolent amble,
surround us with the pink mammary smell
...

Letter to Tome Torihama (1902-1992)
Owner of Tomiya Restaurant, near Chiran Air Base, who
cared for kamikaze (tokkotai)pilots hours before their last flight
(and later, for American GIs.)
...

Wayfinder
Homage to the early Polynesian navigator

This waka I guide with chant and song 
...
