Scenes from Kaho’olawe, the island

on this once beautiful island, red hard-pan shows the devastation
piles of drift nets abound
beautiful rocky shoreline at Hakioawa Bay
a memorial to the two Hawaiian souls, George Helm and Kimo Mitchell, who were lost at sea in 1977
the mountain across the sea is Haleakalā, Maui
a sign of hope growing once again on the island
ānuenue bridges heaven and earth
