Anna Couani #162 working life, for MM

I often picture you in New Zealand

where you’ve been all these years

unseen but in contact

the sounds of music ringing out over the harbour

your music still ringing for me

on that magical night

and I see you at your work desk

but also in those green valleys

in the close up photos

in your minimal haiku

that perfectly summarise the artist

working in a full time life
the awareness of it hits me

suddenly

as my own years fall into place
