Place names

E. Manoa, I know you.  We stay
touching: I slept in your shade, fought
your wind.  Rain wet my hair
as I cycled home to Pinau
where I found myself loving.

Go ethe, to where the sun 
rises to an also where
over Lake Michigan light
flakes blue off glass.  A better
word for windows, chips.

like a long mo'o tail lying
kited along the st. 
  
-ave, an expression
greeting or farewell ave
