Mānana (Rabbit Island), a small islet located off the eastern windward shore of the island of Oahu, between Makapuu Point and Waimanalo: photo by Vernon Brown, 25 April 2009
That’s where I used to live.
Close to Rabbit Island. That’s where
I used to sleep. Under that ironwood
at the end of that beach access—
Hihimanu Street. All the old naupaka
gone now where cubbyholes existed—
dry, windless places—just one or two
where I’d find him crashed, reeking,
needing to hold onto me like a man
in the whole bunch of trouble that he was.
