... who knows what other travellers might not have set out with a wild surmise for these shores? Looking perhaps for Luca Antara; perhaps just for the day after tomorrow.

Because I truly have no life... I took your 99 words, took out the four "New Zealand words", loaded them into Excel and created the following. (Word order based purely on alphabetical order and splitting into 5s. Punctuation and line breaks are mine.)
The four left over words could be a title, perhaps.
I'll go and do something productive with my time now... :os
Aukland, Christchurch, Wellington, Zealand
Across death house -
mountain small.
Again, door know
new still air down
land night stone.
Another dream last nothing -
sun away earth
leaves now take between.
Even let old things, birds, eyes lie.
Once think black, face, life,
people, though blue, fall light.
Place - time - body - far -
little poems
tree book
first live
press.
Two born go long
rain university came.
God, look, red water.
Children, green, love river white.
Cold hands man -
road, wind come .
Head may say words
Dark heart men sea
world - day - hills - moon
sings years dead.
Home. Morning sky yet.
well that's interesting - there's some kind of enzed ur poem in that list but I resisted the impulse to try to find it ... but thought that others might.
