Next to the Linocut is a poem by Mavis Jones 'Trail Bay'
"Trail Bay
These grey boulders
smoothed by weather,
ponderous, unspeaking,
are elephants
of the inanimate world:
they wade in water
as the tide comes in,
bake in mesolithic
heat at noon.
At night they count
the stars, chant
their names
the night wind,
and the names of all the stars
who died
When the round moon
rises in the east
the elephants dance, bright
with grave and thankfullness.
Each dip, each
sway and turn, lasts
for a thousand years."
The print was printed by New Leaf Editions
