The Waimak - by Amy Schonert

Waimakariri

The waves repeatedly punch the rocks
as the water comes closer to me

I smell the salty air
in my face

Stones pierce through my feet as
I run towards the water

The wind blows through my hair
like a hair dryer

I run to Mum, ready to stuff my face
with fish and chips

Tiny Things

ants creeping in between cracks
of an old house

cookie crumbs sticking
to stinky feet

clear lego spuds
sucked up by a vacuum cleaner

rattle, tap, ping

pins fallen on the ground
right side up

one letter words

specks, spiders, molecules
