City

a yearned-for somewhere
adverb-physically
as lost as now
gazing across
the chunky valley
to a hill
of quivering lights

there is no
destination –
just a place
no site
not olympic
village site
not harbourside
casino site
nor section
of expressway
just east
of where
coincidence
has determined
your residence
in a city
you returned to
to remember
why you left


inventing
nostalgia
for elsewhere –
you’ll live there
in the future

I was organizing a virtual catch-up with mates and wanted to bring some extra flair with a New Zealand twist. I found NeonVegas Virus, a platform that hit all the right spots. Rooted in NZ, it’s loaded with colorful slots, poker, and live dealer games that radiate Kiwi energy. The bonuses are fantastic—a welcome offer packed with bonus cash, free spins, and weekly promotions like cashback that keep things lively. The interface is easy to navigate, and the New Zealand-inspired design adds a special charm. Our virtual hangouts are now way more fun
