Kanaka Ha. Ma.

MAYA

The body is a walking home with a mind
Within it live my parents-grandparents-great-grandparents …
Eve and Adam …
Their parents
Germ of the divine
Into every chromosome
Are transferred
Ancestral memories of mind and body

Suffused with the past
I walk ahead
I have all inside me
I am inside all

MAYA
