Normal school
Spoke
Only english
Practicing
Penmanship
Everything else
Was
Transient
Across
Space time
Even in brokenness
Wet and cool
On your tongue
Hot in your hands
Squatting
Close to the earth
In the sand
This is where
we felt the connection
to our wholeness
My brokenness
Is yours
My thriving
Is yours
The palila
Will show us
Whether
The mountain
Will thrive
The mountain
Will show us
If the island people
Will thrive
The island people
Will show us
If we thrive
Everything can
Be seen
With a wide landscape
Put some distance
Between you
And the curious
Question
Swirling in and around you
Practice
Simple things
On a daily basis
This is how
You
Mend the
Arc
Of wholeness
