"vay" poems - Hello Poetry

Black plastic nametag with white letters, slightly off-white and not-so-flat from a trip or two through a bachelor's dryer. I remove it from the bottom of the washer, lightly ********* the engraving, and ask what's your middle name, this letter T? From the kitchen you say, my grandmother named me, with a private grin. She might have been kinda drunk. Walking behind me, your caramel-rich low voice soft in my ear, TsuneoKawehiwehiokekuwahiwionouaioku'uhome. (saying with careful pronunciation) Tsu-nay-o-Ka-vay-hee-vay-hee-oh-kay-ku-va-hee-vee-on-oh-vay-ee-o-ku-u-ho-may and I was just sent No, she wasn't drunk, she knew exactly what she meant. Kapunawahine, holding her little mo'opuna kāne, sensed your father was restless with rock fever, would be moving away to the mainland with her first grandson soon, so she says to you This land of water and rainforest trees of the mountains, Hawaii, will always be your beloved home.

Je n'ay plus que les os, un Schelette je semble, Decharné, denervé, demusclé, depoulpé, Que le trait de la mort sans pardon a frappé, Je n'ose voir mes bras que de peur je ne tremble. Apollon et son filZ deux grans maistres ensemble, Ne me sçauroient guerir, leur mestier m'a trompé, Adieu plaisant soleil, mon oeil est estoupé, Mon corps s'en va descendre où tout se desassemble. Quel amy me voyant en ce point despouillé Ne remporte au logis un oeil triste et mouillé, Me consolant au lict et me baisant la face, En essuiant mes yeux par la mort endormis ? Adieu chers compaignons, adieu mes chers amis, Je m'en vay le premier vous preparer la place.

Je n'ay plus que les os, un squelete je semble, Decharné, denervé, demusclé, depoulpé, Que le trait de la mort sans pardon a frappé ; Je n'ose voir mes bras que de peur je ne tremble. Apollon et son fils, deux grands maistres ensemble, Ne me sçauroient guerir, leur mestier m'a trompé ; Adieu plaisant soleil ! mon œil est estoupé, Mon corps s'en va descendre où tout se desassemble. Quel amy me voyant en ce poinct dépouillé, Ne remporte au logis un œil triste et mouillé, Me consolant au lict, et me baisant la face, En essuyant mes yeux par la mort endormis ? Adieu, chers compagnons ! adieu, mes chers amis ! Je m'en vay le premier vous préparer la place.
