Rock and Cave
at Whatipu
the caves are hollow
and hidden
no light or
life can be seen in
these solitary places
and then
the heads of the Western
Manukau jut out
Buffeted, undermined
by winds and
by rain and salt water
if you
stand on the beach
feeling the force of the elements
and look
up to the safety and
darkness of the caves
then decide
on te wahi moemoeä, shadows
and the half-life
or stand strong, Kia Kaha,
and be shaped and eroded
down to the last pebble of existence
