Immigrant

Hot emotions
Aligned to
Cold feelings,
Close friends
Replacing
Distanced relatives.

Unconscious thought
Changed to
Elevated philosophy,
High hopes
Exchanging
Low despair.

Awesome

(from my window overlooking Manukau and the airport)

The magic

To create

The intermittent

White flashes

Of pure power

Through the darkened

Night-fall

Of the day.

It's restful

To hear

The rumbling

Sound

Of hapless cloud-bursts

Forming

A thickened sheet

Of a cool summer.
