I love you, see
 
 

Son I watch you
engrave the shoreline
with compassion:
"I love you sea and fishes".
 

Daughter, I watch you
cradle in your arms
mortality:
this driftwood bird,
with tears,
rest it at your feet.
 

Son, I watch you
shout at the wind
without fear,
charging the air with word song
 

Dedicated to my Children, Jarah, Waipapa, and Parone-Vincent
