Na Geraldine Sinyuy, World BEYOND War, Noema 25, 2020

Elegy mo taku Taina

Peke, me pehea e taea ai e koe tenei ki ahau?

Emma, ​​iti bro, ka kite koe i ahau?

Kei te tangi ano hoki koe i tenei wehenga ohorere?

Emmanuel, he aha taku i pupuri ai mou,

Ko tera waahanga kua roa e hiahia ana ahau ki te whakarite,

Tuhinga o mua

Ko aku mahi i te ao matauranga,

Kua moemoea noa ia.

Emma, ​​i tawai mai koe ki ahau.

Ko aku mahere, e te tuakana, kua hukapapa,

Frozen e te hopu ohorere

Mo tera manawa i ora ai koe.

Teina, i haere puku koe ano he tauhou.

Kaore koe i waiho kupu mai moku.

Peke, ko to ngaro kei te pakipaki i ahau.

Kua taka oku pokohiwi,

kua kore hoki ahau e maia ki te whakapehapeha.

Emma, ​​inaianei ka korero au i muri:

"Ko matou…"

Ae, koina te taima i waihotia mai ahau e to haerenga!
