I just love words. Poetry is where I feel most at home but I enjoy writing in many forms.
In my culture, my people have a deep connection to where we were raised. We are inextricably tied to that land. The word for this is – ‘turangawaewae’(1).

Compliments drip off the sender’s tongue like sticky saliva And when aimed in my direction Are unsavoury, unwelcome, uninvited
In the midst of a passionate love affair My attitude is laissez faire I can’t think of anything else Except this darling dear
Relationship status with my mother? It’s complicated. She bore me at age 20 risking two lives aplenty in an age where hospitals were inhospitable.
At first harvest the grapes of desire were so sweet and young, bursting through veins medium bodied a vintage elite.
