Sway

When you were so so very small
I must have loved you very tall
Like tall meant something very small
But very small was something tall
Like something tall was after all
The very biggest kind of small
Packed tight and safe in loving more.
In loving more and more and more.
Perhaps those buildings in the sky
Were not so tall like, very small
Like inside feelings stretched out loud
Would be the tallest one of all.
When you were so, so very small
I must have loved you very tall
But Now I love you even more
Even more than was before.
Even more than was before.
Calendar – wings so fast
Flies flies – we beg to last…
Come sway a while
Clock …make some
Slow time
Grow time
Sway sway
Time
Our time
Little big time
Sway Sway
Stay stay
In the way
Way
Of
The very
Biggest

Small.

Tohora

Magnificent Fish
Monumental heart
Mammoth life
Expels air
Like a mighty
Release
Like a mighty
Reminder
To undo
Strictures
…and
From the fern born…
From the forests of the sea…
forests, like luxuriant, yet free, dominance
There was the Tohora spirit lit?
Swapping skin with a Kauri tree
Thin skinned - yet tensile strength
All elastic fantastic
Just how we should feel-
Everything.
And so full… like resin, like oil
Supple and warm
Tohora
Heart
With a
Cupids arrow
Tail,
Protect
Her
Though she
Was never meant

To be fragile.
