Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light) Poems

they did it all before you
cloning cloning the Boys from Brazil
cloning Adolf Hitler
heart bypass operations organ transplants
...

rain falls heavy
like an old friend
tears at funeral
...

day’s heat hot dust sweat
day’s heat hot fear sweat
day’s heat fear darkness trapped
...

many miracles
near misses
80% of city
has no water
...

just because
we do not live there
does not mean
...

kiwi people nation
needs to grieve
sometimes it helps
...

when tragedy strikes
sometimes it is worse
to be resident overseas
...

look after your family
enjoy your friends
sometimes change
...

Beautiful words holy compassion,
funerals are not just for the dead,
they are also to help and console
the living in family formal respect.
...

relax busy time
resting nerves
rest body required
...
