robbed
Updated: Jan 30, 2020
slumped under a tree in the centre of the city half-empty bottle by your side liquid purple ticket to the dreamtime
eyes shut foot twitching a smile on your round black face
lost in ancestral memories walking the scorched red earth of Arnhem land escaping for a while the hatred of the white New World
Written in a cafe in Perth, observing the world around me
