HIDE OUT

Lengthy drives through quaint New Zealand towns

Precious snowy capped mountains never quite close enough

Gushing waterfalls / the power of Mother Earth

The sky goes dark

We sit carefully in a warm stream as the scenery disappears around us 

The shower pierces our skin

We've eaten too much food

A tattoo documentary plays quietly in the background 

and the electric blanket warms one side of the bed

Back and forth in the ghost car, but

no desire to return home
