A Hike through Te Wera Forest We set off with a small pack some orange juice, egg sandwiches, nuts I am here for you; the forest is incidental If you ask me for a match I will give you a wildfire, an inferno I am love’s arsonist.
We climbed up on a ridge to survey the world from elevation; You say you don’t know how to love small.
Your name stays with me always Folded into my skin that only lovers caress a love more numerous than all these trees here.
