Death of a whale, John Blight
Wearingeul- A Study in Scarlet
Leuchtturm a5 standard
Montegrappa
This was written in 1954. It could have been written yesterday. We have been ignoring the whale being ripped apart for years.

The Tigress, Anna Wickham
Diamine x Türkiye Zeugma
b6 52gsm TR
Kaweco Elegance <M>
I'd not heard of Anna (1883-1947) and I was shocked to learn how "old" her work was! It feels quite modern. She interacted with many Modernist poets.

A puddle in an outdoor car park. There is a reflection of a black metal fence and blue sky with clouds on the puddle. Some markings on the surface of the car park suggest some construction might soon take place.

"Moving On" Banjo Paterson
Kobe Ink #4 Kitano Ijinkan Red
Leuchtturm
Parker 50 (Falcon)
Australians all know Banjo Paterson (1864-1941), but his bush ballads and epic adventures. We forget his Boer war and WW1 experiences.

I read this as an enmeshment of the drought and the couple who own the land. They are childless, but the wife wants a family to take over. She sees no future if they stay.
