Hinemoana Baker    

 

this house

simmers inside

a blacker and whiter

version of itself:

 

the staybehind name

lends some protection

from searing rain the roaring

 

rain the shaking and showing

off big thunderclap mouth:

are we really

 

the opposite

of each other

if you think of all this

 

as uterus and us

a couple of greying

tongues singing into a pillow
