the earth sleeps
night whispers
to the bubbling mud
man cringes
hiding behind kauri tree
dressed in flax

primordial growls
and tiki prays for . . . more

my brothers and i

with old plywood
playing cops and robbers
with sticks . . . more

barren
like a poisoned womb
left to rot
with nothing inside
to grow
stagnant
no phone
no connection
a dial tone
so lonely
with no numbers to dial
a page
with no words
and no ink
in your pen . . . more

i gasp
for air and space
you take it from me
with your mouth
feeding on my air
taking my space
i'm struggling in this
pond of depression
stressed by it's
whitecapped waves

i walked into your hell
and immediately was engulfed
in the flames
burning out of control
a blue flame
so hot
i lost cohesion
and was easily molded
into what you wanted

sometimes
i sit atop a pedastal
atop of the world
not that i'm better than you
but my good days

try to remember it

you warned me
and i threw caution
to the four corners of the earth
thought i could handle it
but now
i'm poisoned
and my thoughts
my dreams

knowing that it was going to hurt me

greetings...
i come whispering to you
in far away dreams

awoken at six
summer boredom to be appeased
breakfast and last night's dishes
a floor to be picked up
for the tenth time
screaming and chaos
background noise
as you study for your exams

I come from
a long line of wise men
and women
our warriors were fierce
cunning
but they knew
when to draw a line
there are times
when the warrior in me snarls
and wants to strike out

before...
like in any story of beginings
there was darkness
no light to give warmth
give comfort

desperate darkness
an empty spot in my chest

there you hurt

out on the streets

the wind it is bitter
and chills to the bone

and watch me bleed
i used to believe
