Book SynopsisTable of ContentsTranslator’s Introduction
you wrote yourself the poem of it
NORTH
slender shadows
my friends
so I’ve been told
Tamangur
foam
like sunshine, like winter, like wind
geese
chorus
being inspected
behind my eyes
nightmare
for the beast
my dog’s heart
shining
practice for being away
heavy creatures
of the skies
from the plane you see
was once
catfish
one apple, two cups
forgotten
denuded trees
friends still laughing
red rover, red rover
let’s flatten the grass, keep quiet, keep still
to the centre of the world
centre of the world
the centre of each of our bodies
south
hunting song
everyone else was lost without trace
Sydney
the open sea
what happened next we do not know
ear
under the churchyard
the glittering cities of central Europe
roar
yours faithfully
yours sincerely
portrait of a woman
this photo of us
we’ve shut up shop
I
sway
conversation with the centaur
the shoes worn out with dancing
John
open your eyes!
noon
south
it will all still be there
everything comes
the white surface that is your heart
all that you and I know
song
8
taken leave
Notes
bouquets
