Between boats
Masts moving
Left right left
Forwards backwards
Warm ground
But not too warm
Central viaduct
dark turquoise water
concrete and rust
distorted reflections
seagulls watching
one foot in shimmering diesel
corrogated iron
sheds with closed gates
containers from far
flaking colours
smell of seaweed
and engines
Sky scrapers
Apartment blocks
Kiss the sea
Downtown Auckland
On a cloudy day
Blue and grey

In my dream I was standing outside your window
You were behind the curtain, couldn't see me
I just kept watching you on your computer, looking quite serious
But occasionally laughing out loud
In my dream, when you saw me outside your house
You ran outside to find me
You came out to find me :||
The simple pleasures of sitting leg to leg when out and about
May never happen in this reality
I'd give the world for a single hug
But this may never happen, except for in dreams

Really Well

I haven’t written a song in weeks
I think it’s just to avoid writing another song about him
There are three already and I don’t need a fourth
I could write about my friends instead
My love for the sea
My cat, my bed
The smell of flowers or the rain
I’ve been really well, I’ve been really well
I’ve been really well
I’ve been really well
I’ve been out, I’ve danced, I’ve sung
Behaved like we meant nothing at all
I’ve wondered if sometimes he’s thinking of me
Chorus
Tomorrow will be a new day
And I will laugh, and I will smile
And eventually I will stop hurting about the lack of him in my life
