Wet shirt
wet hat
flap, flap, flap
arms stretched
and hands flapping
flap, flap, flap
Uneven steps, always forward
like a ceremonial dance
without the praying
smiles and laughter
a lucky charm
chestnut pigeon dance.
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.
