A Tapa for Two Voices
by Roxann Fonoimoana and Deborah L. J. MacKinnon, who met as a teaching team at Kingston Junior High in Kingston, Washington

Perhaps,
When all is right and
The world is
Still,
Those Whom we have known
Shall return.
Two women
Cut from the same tree,
The connection
A piece of Samoan
Folk art.
Softly whispering,
Gently touching,
That which once was.
An indigenous alter,
A puzzle,
A chess board.
Knowing,
Remembering,
Bridging forever...
Connecting, holding
The promise of hope.
Memories of the heart.
Where movements
And affirmations
Set destinies
In motion.
For once was,
Shall forever be-
Is.
The life
That remains in wood.
