Great God Ruamoko
we humbly beseech
you accept these
our offerings –
30 billion dollars
7.8 billion litres of spilled
untreated wastewater
535,000 tonnes of silt
181,000 damaged homes
40,000 chemical toilets
8,900 Christchurch emigrants
1,200 demolished
city centre buildings
546 rest home evacuees
2 cathedrals
185 lives
This poem is a further in my Ruamoko series. Hopefully, explanations are not needed.
