Mad Monday

All the crazies are out today
after a weekend without
medication,

Ties

My father’s tie,
broad blue stripes,
100% man
made,
not natural
to touch

Making amends

A recent trip to Tasmania finally gave me the opportunity to find the grave of Meryl Travers-Smith, my mother’s cousin. She was perhaps the last direct link in my family’s connection with China, having lived there up until the start of WWII and then being interned by the Japanese at Weihsien Camp in Shantung Province.

Waiting

The black dog
waits by
the red gate
for the
yellow car
to return.
