In 2024 I found this train track at Pu’uloa near the pearl harbor visitor center in a pile of rubble they forgot to clean up, on the site of a former fishpond named Kahakupōhaku.
The train track, part of dillingham’s OR&L Railway, was put there to carry the annexationists’ sugar back and forth so they could get rich and steal a nation, and it later carried more, like the u.s. military’s bombs troops and ammo, trash from town to be dumped in Wai’anae, and sand from Wai’anae to build Waikīkī.
Carried it with me to Haystack where I was able to shape it into something hopeful.
Eternal mahalo to Pu’uhonua Society, Haystack School of Crafts, and Kumu Elizabeth Brim
