Poetry Monday: Ana o keke

Ana o Keke

Inside my mouth
An egg
The tern calls
Circling
Careless one
Plaintive

Come to me
Tangatu mana
Man bird
Bring your red
Into my blindness
Your crown of hair
With its stink of the sea

The tern calls
Circling
Ana o keke

I am your milk
Man bird
Come to me
Inside my mouth

An egg
Inside the egg
A tern calling
