Hi, I'm Elle. I'm based in Auckland, New Zealand. I'm the mother of two young adults, the wife of an entrepreneurial gamer and the Queen of Unfinished Projects. This blog will contain poems, short stories, possibly photos and book reviews if you're lucky, and my thoughts on a variety of topics. Hope you enjoy it.

An emptiness full of broken
                                           promises
provides the perfect acoustics
for the squelch
as she offers me
a gift of arguable value.

I never liked the word
arguable
with its lack of specificity
and utter vagueness,
but it's the perfect word
for the value of her
heart
and I will treasure it,
despite (or maybe because of)
her own carelessness with it,
until the last squelch
of my own.
