Asenaca Vula Example
Poet writing in English and Fijian about sea, family and return
Salt on the mango leaves
2025The wind came in from the reef all nightand in the morning the mango leaveswere white at the edges, like old photographs.My grandmother licked a finger,touched a leaf, and said: the seahas been to visit. Sweep the step.The tide keeps the names we forget,and gives them back as shells.I swept. I found three.I did not know whose they wereso I put them on the windowsillwhere the salt could find them again.
