Canvas Print - Tuatara reading
Canvas print by David Elliot
On wooden frame: 20cm x 30cm
The old survivor, tuatara,
reptilian great-grandfather,
observing with heavy-lidded eye
the still old centuries passing by,
slow little bloke in enamel coat
shedding his tail, croaking his croak,
his third eye watching world upon world,
an eternity to have, to hold.
By Lauris Edmond
