whangaumu beach [map], new zealand.

i am your breath, before i wake
i am slightly out of focus
i am the shadow cast by the strings of the cello
i am a rainbow of prayer flags
i am the power to choose my own destiny
i am a weekend, up at the beach
i am rock pools full of starfish
i am the sea breeze, wafting through your door
i am gifted to you by the sea
i am bodysurfing; togs⁽¹⁾ full of sand
i am the fourth dimension in a world of three
i am what happens when you spend friday nights alone
i am the morning after
i am the six-fingered man
i am the meeting called to order
i am open; wide; to receive the light
i am restless dreaming
i am the day that will never come
i am the sharp edges
i am either / or
i am caught between countries
i am now here
i am nowhere
