"Mystic Tongues"

speak to us, laleipo, in tongues foreign:

there are no words, there are no sounds

only the unheard and the yet to be.

hearken but with ears not alone, 'a'ole!

to the provenance, vibrations pulse.

The Beloved signs intimately;

as the beloveds whirl inwardly

her necessary wine.

touch, The Nature,

for She is breathing,

breathing the breath of being.

nei, nani wahine, the inhale

'alelo!, u'i kane, the blow:

the language of anatomy in

sychronised, mystic tongues.
