There is lightness
in the early morning
the murmur of the creek
on its way down the escarpment
the sound of the pandanus leaves rocking with the current
absent minded
I walk through the bushes
Feel the slow, uncertain wanderings
of tiny feet
green ants
green ants without a purpose
dreamlike walking over me
I coil for the bytes
but the bytes never come
green ants
flicked them slowly
one by one
no fighting back
too early
Kakadu NP. July 2024
I acknowledge the traditional owners of the Kakadu national park lands, the Bininj and the Mungguy and its leaders past and present. Sovereignty has never been ceded. Like millions of Australians I accept the Uluru Statement of the Heart and support the Voice.
