One is for Mauri
Take a few
Exquisite things
And by dint of magic
Breathe. Breathe. Right there
In the kitchen. Life.
So that it quivers on the tongue
And sings in the mouth.

The second is for Aroha
Selflessness
In your act of
Creation. Hand over
Your fleeting perfection
To a gliding waitperson
For it to still all of the words
And sing in the heart.
