PAPATUANUKU- is relating self with the land and elements of nature: 'rain and rivers' and a mild regret tht the real identity of her self is not actualized by the "you" in her life who who 'treads' her body.she does not want to be confined int any definition for herself . she rather wants to be one with the universal self. this is very touching poem, the potential of humanbeing has immense possibilities.
