Requiem for a koha

Mariana Isara


Now you are the milk of mountains
and a mamaku crown.

Now you are the root's re-generation.

Now you are riverborne seeds.

Now you are the poi e of rain
fluking up the canopy.

Now you are the happy
accident of worms in darkness.

Now you are the earth's generous marrow
coming up, coming up, child.

Now you are the blossoming
skull.

Now you are artesian song
a capella when we turn the tap on.

Now you are the daughter's
voice in the flute body.

Now you are vein blue sky
and arms arched wide across the plains.
