For Hāwane, Mehana and Malia
Who take you back to your mountain
Who show you how
To hold your breath
As you trace her ridges
Follow those women
Who’s scales don’t cut at your soft skin
Who can see the way
You never shed
Just carry
Follow the women
Who return you to the summit
In your joy
In your fear
In your every body
