bought my house on stolen land

hate the sound of neighbours’ fan

heart half here, half overseas

not sure how to feel pleased

hard to be the one who sees

both sides

it’s balance?

or unease

trying to dive in and believe

life is good, but girlfriend, please

the world’s a mess

people suck

the cars, the dogs, the tat, the trucks

if only we could find some ease

never me, the malcontent

hands up, surrender, fie resentment

stepping through a faded door

shoes off

eye prize

to future shores
