Rob Schackne #539 - Beneath Tāne Mahuta

Beneath Tāne Mahuta

Like thunder 

my dear elephant
at the heart of the world
cousins talk like birds
blue above the green
the sacred kauri tree
my older brothers
we've walked this far
never seen things
so slowed down

green beneath the blue
please use your heart
now disease is falling
one sick leaf by one
