The north island is a lost southern sting ray,
atleast the book of maui said so.
Swimming south it´s sting aims to the north.
It´s wings out- Coromandel and new plymouth.
It´s super eye Wellington.
The slippery kapiti coast my home
on the other side of the dry Wairapa.
And between them both a spine composed of
mountains and foothills.
The south island a thousand mouths speaking to Wellington
from the marlborough sounds.
Warm bays from picton to nelson collecting sun
as estuaries fill and empty.
The bushy west falls to antarctica fresh and freezing.
The plains of the east curve in and out from
plesiosaur kaikoura to our scottish sister city-Dunedin!
Round the base with oyster colonies to the cool southern
town of Invercargill.
