Lilian Cohen
High above the plunging falls and deep ravines
among the boulders laced with whispers
I sense their age-old presence,
they that once read every seed and twig
and wove each tweak of nature
into the sacred Dreaming lore
that flowed through them
into their lands.
Today I see them
drifting dark in white man’s towns
like Dreamtime birds lost in flight
trapped inside the white man’s nets.
I pass them huddled on the grass
bleeding for their severed past
clinging still to filaments of Dreaming.
I see them
and cannot meet their shuttered eyes.
