These democrats who voted with the GOP on the CR have done irreparable damage to the confidence their constituents invested in them. Their strategy looks like a sieve, like no strategy at all, as if all they care about is holding a position. Not a meaningful stand. No muscle. No resistance.

Ka Makani O Lahaina

Homage to Delos Blackmar’s Hawaiian Madonna at the church of the Holy Innocents lost in the fire of Lahaina August 8 2023

here Spirit of all love returns as if in dreams
golden hope shines upon the altar
of the forgiven
ilima lei of gratitude
ti leaf crown of protection
ka Makani o Lahaina
grace becomes her
within her arms
white bird of peace
Madonna of Lahaina

Ka Makani O Lahaina

O Lahaina where hearts have perched and sighed
you have vanished into the realm of the lost
embraced by fire
ka Makani o Lahaina
howling winds across the ocean
called up the conflagration
destroyer of all things
