Message and best witches
for the Auckland concert, 6 December 2002
I am deeply sorry I cannot be present at the celebration of Alan’s life on Friday. Would you be able to read out a poem for me? It is on the back cover of Ecstasy published by Alan / Bumper Books in 2001. I know you will have it on your bookshelf but I’ll note it down – in case!
Hunger for the sweet
Hunger for the white
and incorruptible money
of what we are
Hunger for the salt
the heart makes
when it breaks
Hunger for you
(salt in excess to me)
Hunger for the miraculous sleep...
