For Cushla
There is so much space
Between me
And the sky
In every way
Less between us
That heart of yours
Sends shockwaves
Sun blasts from the sky
Heats the back
Pacifies
Drawn deep from the belly
Of Papatuanuku
You are wild
You are
Full of storm
You are the eye of your own storm
Witness to it all
Calm
Observer
Of spirits walking
Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa **
* This is a tiny gift but it comes with all my love
** Let’s stay close and not far apart
