on finding found poetry

Finding some found poetry inside an old copy of Selected Poems by David Rowbotham (University of Queensland Press, 1975) that I found in the free box at the op shop.  That's the thing about found poetry. Someone has to find it.  So Dream  find fires hear the wintered voice  why not twice?  An angel going shoeless today. *** Inhabitant  where creatures build the dead song shall the heart  the world  move now? meet nature with a sorry. Our land, we have unnatural rule as well.  And because of the creature time has let another one  *** p174 missed spilling  split  because to you  the scream you taught but she sent affection  you signalled back love. Not even the memory of Spain made her perfectly adored. blue-eyed you took towards home. there was redemption. Somewhere green.
