You left me-
Now you ask
Who I tell
People talking
You mo’ kea
How you look-
How she do-
No kea bout me
You no want
This wahine
I know
I no tell her name
I say nada
People get eyes
Her friends make
Buzz buzz buzz
Busy bullshit bees
Pointing fingers
Lak I make
Big stink over nuting
It not nuting
It something-
I feel it-
Hard-
Like befo’
I no talk
I no kea bout her-
Its you
I know
If I talk
You punipuni - lie
Say I ʻō.pule.pule - crazy
Her friends
When they buzz like that
They point fingers-
At you-
And her-
I no need.

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing it!
A fine poem.A very fine poem, indeed. Since it is a poem it makes no sense to weigh its value against a short story's value to determine which is the better piece of writing. Please consider separating prose and poetry for future competitions. Mahalo.
I like Charles' idea of separating prose and poetry for future competitions.
