I Remember

I remember a life in Tahiti.

I remember being a teenager in Tahiti.

It's a good memory.

 Je me souviens d'une vie à Tahiti.

Je me souviens d'avoir été adolescente à Tahiti.

C'est un bon souvenir.

Te haamana'o nei au i te hoê oraraa i Tahiti.

Te haamana'o nei au i to ' u taurearearaa i Tahiti.

E haamana'oraa maitai te reira.

Fragments

 

Walks on the beach,

nights by the fire,

the pictures you painted,

the words that you spoke,

the towels that you chose,

handmade birthday cards,

the last earrings you wore,

your wedding band

on my right hand--

I'm not talking about

a sample of your ashes,

though I have that too,

but all these things

are fragments of you.
