Australian Intrusion
That’s what we do and what we've done:
day after day, for entire months
over many number of years
decades and centuries
at least two of them
we are here and we
were not invited
nor accepted
nor treaty-ing
in this isle.
Steps:
try one first
you can stay a while
you can sit down and talk
you could try talking, wangka,
you can share some food together
even go here and there step by step
watch people work within the seasons
listen to mothers singing to children, their tjitji-
then you could ask ‘do you want anything of me?’
