The Shallow Dive

The water looked deep
so
I dived on in
However my feet could
not
Touch the bottom

In over my head I
reached
For the surface
Only to discover floating discarded
shards
Of needles and bottles

I struggled alone with you for
help
shoveling up the pieces
piling high in the corner
like
a pile of discarded clothes

Once worn through were signs of a
struggle
that fought to get free of you
The choir of friends that sang of your
downfall
were too loud to hear your battle

There is no more color to add to the
pallor
Which has none to share
What were friends are no
longer
On a path of shared despair

Take the cup and fill it to
half
the pool that appeared shallow is now
full
in knowing that we are through

Hi Neighbours - we moved into the area (Whitworth Road) almost 4 weeks ago with our pets & one of our cats has gone missing late Sunday night after a cat fight with another local.

Wasabi had settled well but the fight has upset her and we haven’t seen her since, she may be hiding in a garage or shed so please keep a look out for her (she will have been sheltering from the terrible weather!)

I have been out looking and calling for Wasabi but I’ve had no luck. Wasabi is a small tabby & white female cat, she is 11 years old but looks like a younger cat.

If anyone sees her or notices a cat they haven’t seen before lurking around please call me on 021736888.

Contractors start the painstaking task this week of taking down the city's oldest wall- brick by brick.

The historic Bluestone wall off Albert St will be moved 1.5 metres to make way for the underground rail tunnels being built in Auckland's major infrastructure project, the City Rail Link.

Every brick will be labelled with a unique number so workers know how to rebuild the wall.

Expected to be reconstructed by 2023, it will be moved east with the station tunnel box running parallel.

The wall was constructed in 1880 from local material after the widening of Durham St.
