Meri Kirihimete to me... renewed my Toi o Tāmaki membership #ArtGalkeryAuckland #Toi #poetry

Highly recommend Robin White exhibition & the Frida & Diego

To Robin White

I was a small child
of 10
when you lived on Muaūpoko
painting your hoa Sam Hunt
I would not discover his poetry
until
an angsty teen
we saw him perform on campus
me with imposter syndrome
pretending to belong
1st in fam
1st to drop out
17
looking for redemption
in boys' beds
