‘[hanom][hanom][hanom]’

~

what echoes across waters :
taotaomo’na—
from ‘taotao’ [‘people’] ginen ‘mo’na’ [‘precede’]—
‘people of before’ ‘before time ancestors’ ‘ancient people’ ‘people before
recorded time’ etc

while my ancestors did live breathe love die before
contact before
colonialism before
history
taotaom’ona also exist
in time in
our histories remembered forgotten
in our bodies homes words in
every breath ‘in

relation to my own body by wave of the page’ and [we]
will continue after in
all afters
