Taming the beast of power. May 26, 2015. It’s sometimes very hard to silence the doubt, the embodied response to histories of violence and suppression. It’s hard to feel the light when Winter is looming, and my mind feels the long shadows of the past begin to advance as distance from the sun increases. I don’t know what the fuck. I have been training and working on my body, lengthening my muscles and helping to find a tune. And I am, but I wonder all the same, where these feelings come from? Kia ora e ho...

space | huka can haka

https://hukacanhaka.com/2014/09/02/space

September 2, 2014. I finally have space. It has been a long time since I have had space to do the things that are important to me, but finally I have cleared everything else away, and out of my life, so that I can exist. There is this space that is between, it is neither here nor there, at once it is both connected and disconnected, inside and outside; it is a place of becoming. I smoked a pack of cigarettes, and now I am on to my next pack. I get up in the morning and run five kilometers. I have no idea...

over it | huka can haka

https://hukacanhaka.com/2014/12/27/over-it

December 27, 2014. Xmaz has come and gone, new songs, lots of change…but none of it loose. Reflections mirror the mirages, marriages of past and future meld to become the new now – and I still wonder about a lot of things that stressed me out during this year of madness and eventual calm. I can hardly remember the person I started as this year, because I have changed so much. My promise was to become myself, and as this happened, I forgot who I ever became in the pasts of parry and thrust. I look at that...

the past | huka can haka

https://hukacanhaka.com/2015/05/28/the-past

May 28, 2015. Yesterday, I booked tickets to Melbourne. I haven’t been back there since 2004, when I decided that life was supposed to be better than waiting for people to throw flowers on my coffin. I contracted HIV there, in 1998. I was only 22 at the time, but I had already given up on life. In today’s world, I can’t quite fathom the person I used to be in my youth. Some of my patterns are the same but the most destructive ones have all but vanished. Morning train →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. CFP &#...

July 29, 2016. Moments, stretched into elongated epitaphs. Urgh, this last stretch is a betch, as I wend my words winding up a good few years invested in one project. The past two months have dragged, dredging up dissonance and doldrums, but encouragingly no depression. Suicide – I have a new project focusing on rangatahi. Suicide intervention called – Te Aho. I need to call the printers and sort my fucking prints out. May 11, 2016. I only have a few more chapters to write and they are seemingly just wai...

no pictures please | huka can haka

https://hukacanhaka.com/2015/05/27/no-pictures-please

May 27, 2015. No pictures today, just words. It’s funny how a word or two can reveal worlds; juxtapositions slip keys in doors, which silently open through their symbolism. For the past few months I have been experiencing a type of depression, lodged in my subconsciousness. It hasn’t been on the surface of my awareness, but rather, it has been more like a ghost that chills the air of my peripheries. Every time I turn to look it in eye, it has found a way to avoid me addressing it directly. The past →.

Fear is the mind chiller. August 30, 2015. Fear is unfortunate, on the one hand it can keep you safe, on the other it can keep you too safe. There is definitely such a thing as too safe. Sometimes I crawl, falling upon swords as I stab myself with maliciousness. Ridiculousness, riding lowly, slowly faltering in the feverish fearful dreamscape. Escapades of eventual self-defeat, defecating on my own desires. Trust: aroha not fear. August 23, 2015. For the past year life has been go home stay home, plugged...

chill time | huka can haka

https://hukacanhaka.com/2015/07/08/chill-time

July 8, 2015. Man, the past few months have been hella! Super busy and feeling bogged down with winter, drama from friends (actually, just the one but he’s a handful at times) and a shitload of mahi! By last week I was on autopilot, riding the waves to the shore. But good learnings though… excellent learnings. Ima always down for a bit of learning lol. Then, the weekend. I had a photoshoot for a book project. It was very cool to model for an artist whose work I really admire, Tanu Gago. CFP – Sexua...
