Description

from 'Soldier-Father' - It is time, now, for me to supervise his memory, older than the soldier, contemplating the same departure, the unreliable library of my life shelved in another's fragile skin, its walls only a bromide sketch. In the dark (though light is threatening the deadlock of night which brought us here) I see his face in those of the soldiers marching, but it is for me I place a paper poppy on the rain-wet stone of the cenotaph.

Author Bio

Tom Weston divides his time between Christchurch, Auckland, and parts further afield. These poems came into existence pre-earthquake, but have been shaped and moulded post-earthquake.
