when my feet follow father across the rocks,

there is always a moment, before sea meets skin

like a storm, like a house of drums,

when my body is

inside me a legacyʻai pōhaku wāhineanswer

ea, daughters, ea mai loko o ka pō.

freedom hungry. ua lawa mākou

i ka pōhaku. we are barefoot and believing

that poʻe tell the satisfaction of rocks, tell the satisfaction of gods.
