Resonance X
The level ground
where the old Baxter farm house at Kuri Bush sat is between the
two large Macrocarpa trees on the right, and I had always acknowledged
this on my regular surf trips down the coast. The farmer who owns
the land, Mr Druce, helped by shifting the sheep for the night
before we erected a tent over the camera to keep the dew off the
lens during the extended exposure of 12 hours. The exposure is
actually a combination of two exposures, one on twilight and the
other later when it was dark. The view is south west and the southern
cross can be seen on the right of the star spiral.
Later in 2000 the Macrocarpa tree on the left blew down in the strong winds of an
easterly storm.

James K Baxter - Poem

At
Kuri Bush CP
Outside it
My father stood when I was three or less
Holding me up to look at
the gigantic rotating wheel of the stars.
Whose time isn't ours.
Late Poem
4 Song to Father 1972 CP
The water drowns
your guardian stars
and the night wills it should be so
This grief is only till sunrise.
The Dragon March
CP
One night at the
star crowded dragon sky
O Wind Blowing
1943 CP
No Barren cycle
is this
no grave of stars for ever more lifeless
Rather a truth living incomprehensible
Clear with the clearness and opaqueness of water |
