Haiku for a Sterilized Island

 

Piercing smell of cane 
Burning. The kolea flees, 
Screeching, to the road 

Banana poka 
Twists itself over the necks 
Of hibiscus blooms 

A stealthy mongoose 
Slinks away, with the I`iwi 
Crying for its egg. 

A sterile green skin 
Covers acres. Small white spheres 
Are rolled into cups.
