Episode 003: Empty House/Empty Home
<p>Sometimes when happiness exists, but can not find a place/time/people to take root with, it seems as if it drifts away. It takes the happy pieces of you with it, and leaves a shell. This poem is about the importance of home, not just a house.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Empty House/Empty Home</p> <p><br></p> <p>and where do i find you now,</p> <p>a flash of a smile,</p> <p>a tilt of a head?</p> <p>where does one come calling,</p> <p>empty house, empty home?</p> <p>you are gone and each day i lose hope.</p> <p>the pieces have expired and have left me; just me.</p> <p>but not even that, really.</p> <p>you took the all of me with you.</p> <p>so i am a shell.</p> <p>but the whole of me (you stole away)</p> <p>lives on with you in the wind.</p> <p>those parts of me should be happy,</p> <p>and maybe it is so...</p> <p>and yet my shell remains.</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/cupcakekauahi/notes?lst=173400713%3A173400713%3A1592431718#"><br> </a>March 9, 2011 by Ka'iulani Kauahi © ℗</p>

Episode 002: What keeps me from slumber deep (Maori)
<p>This poem is about how I, a polynesian woman relate to other polynesians who have had to "hide" themselves to assimilate for the purpose of survival. It's about a little girl who is from New Zealand, but is not Maori by blood, who hid the parts of her she loved when she moved. By the time I got to know her, I am wondering to myself if she can still access those beloved, forgotten parts. I believe I wrote this at 1:00 am in the morning, which is why it is called "What keeps me from slumber deep" even though the repeating call withing the poem itself is "maori."</p> <p><br></p> <p>Also, my use of lower case and inconsistent punctuation is not stylized- i'm actually just a very lax writer!<br> <br> What keeps me from slumber deep (Maori)</p> <p><br></p> <p>i imagine you at age seven, running wild and free through grass and ocean.<br> your hair wild in the wind, catching sunlight and challenging those who would call you impostor.<br> your heart marked you what your blood did not. maori.<br> i can hear your voice, distinct with the sounds of being young and unburdened.<br> <br> i am afraid of becoming you now.<br> you laughed when you told me the story of your childhood, and how you were teased.<br> it made my heart hurt that you still pretended to be unscathed.<br> <br> they were cruel to you, forcing you to hide the parts of yourself you loved best.<br> but you hid those things too well and too long.<br> i don't know you anymore, i don't think you can find yourself.<br> where are you?<br> <br> it was an unfair life for you, an unfair childhood.<br> you were scared and hurt. maori.<br> i will not be that child. i am not ashamed.<br> <br> i consider trying to help you, but<br> i am half-afraid you will bite my hand,<br> half-afraid you will accept my help<br> and pull me down with you.<br> <br> would it break your heart to admit this all?<br> would it be worth it to have those pieces of self back?<br> <br> if it seems like i hate you, or i am jealous of you,<br> i am not.<br> i just can't comprehend the pain you dealt with,<br> and i can't even contemplate losing all the things you lost.<br> <br> one day i hope, though i don't hold my breath,<br> you will find your way back. maori.</p> <p><br></p> <p>March 11, 2008 by Ka'iulani Kauahi © ℗</p>
