Swampy waste land
rimu on the edges
Mr George King looks down
at fluffy chicks and shells of eggs
buried in the grass
Around him, he is surrounded by
his friends:
the ostriches.
This poem is a part of the Beca Christchurch Heritage Festival series, for those pieces of writing created in the workshops sponsored by the Christchurch Heritage Festival and Tūranga.
