Traces

 

Plant 

an ohia seed

crack a lava ribbon.

 

Sail

the Pacific, 

greet the kohola.

 

Pedal

with the wind,

listen for the elepa’io.

 

Hike

to a hei’au,

touch the sacred.

 

Dig

in the black sand,

expose the crusty scab.

 

Pause

to sign the autograph tree,

comprehend the invasive.
