She waves, smiles, sweats, wondering why these supposed savages gleamed just like their smiles sang, danced and forgave. Little does she know that in a few years the road her Rolls is rolling on, named after her, will hold the name of the man waiting for her at the end of the strip.

My family’s worst day was a perfect one in the summer of 2019. that laid in gutters, makeshift graves on mountain sides or those of goat sacrifices by mothers who sent sons then daughters to fight? i imagine she’d have heard the toi toi songs they sang for morale & thought them praise hymns for her - she’d brought them civilisation after all! The worst things can happen on the most beautiful days. i wonder if she imagined the other ones father also told me about. somewhere between jacaranda bloom & sweaty bodies. she would’ve turned round to her phillip with drawn eyes, he’d have read her mind, nodded slow & said, “me too.” Somehow i think my sparks are cold write about your feelings and thoughts about it never felt like this before. It peaked at number 8 on the uk singles chart and reached the top twenty in new zealand. she’d expected rocks, rotten vegetables & other soft objects to fly everywhere, at her, for the young men who left & never came back & the young women who left too, came back but not really. Never felt this blue before never felt like this before my hand is shaking on the left my heart is breaking all thats left since i met you. i imagine her as she sweated out her signature blow dry & under her pastel colour skirt-suit being confused by the smiles on the crowd’s warm faces.
