My Broken Places

A  L  O  H  A !

We All Have Broken Places

Have Yours Become

Fists?

Scars?

Or Flowers?

Honestly,

I probably juggle

all three,

and more. . . .

Y O U ?

perhaps you will remember it,

 but if I involve you, 
it becomes your dream too. "

The Legitimate Government

The People Remember,

The `Aina, the Heavens,

the Sea,

and the Moku

all remember.

Into Wonder Opens

" Children might 

or might not be

 a blessing, 

but to create them 

and then fail them 

was surely

 damnation. "

am made entirely
 of flaws, 
stitched together 
with good 
intentions."

 into wonder 

existence opens. "

Aloha Where You Like Go?

A  L  O  H  A !

“ For an exile,

 no remembered face 

or scene 

is too incidental 

to clarify 

the basic mystery

 of being.”

Czeslaw Milosz

That quote

opens the first chapter

of my autobiographical

novel about being

an exile,

alone & new

in Hawaii

Driving my taxi

in this new city,

I met people

who taught me lessons:

bright lessons,

as well as lessons

from the night side

of life.

One special passenger,

and older local woman,

"Auntie Na"

gently showed me

much about life

that I had

missed.

Her Pidgin

 - our local 'lingo' -

is uniquely

of Hawaii,

but I think

You will

Understand -

“Oh June, you young still yet.

 You hungry for experience,

 and that’s the way it should be.

 But when you come older, 

like me,

 don’t worry,

 you still going be

 learning, still get planny things

 fo do; 

no  more time for boredom! 

Morning, noon an’ night time 

get beauty, 

an my family.

 I stay so grateful to 

be alive in dis Hawaii. 

Every tree, rock,

 plant, 

and blade of grass 

has Mana. 

Everything around us

 is wondrous, 

if only we can see.

 I no need night club

 - get nightingale, 

da moon, da clouds,

 and choke memories!”

My own fears

 about ageing shifted, 

and lightened 

as she spoke. . . "
