my
heart starts to ache,

sitting
in the shade of the hire car, throwing stones into the lake.

would throw

a
little more than we could take,

if I
ever get back to Queenstown, I won’t make the same mistake.

cold
as ice and sweet as gin ?

the whole thing down.

singing
and laughing, driving the coast road down, to Queenstown.
