Like an alarm shrilly breaking into

dreams of grain plundered from the invaders,

dreams of full stomachs,


the quiet jangle, the bell of death

and my sister is gone

am I the last of my kind?


The old hiding places and havens

cursed

by perpetual day in fluorescent,

incandescent neon- cold and blazing.

Collared monster silences his bell

there is no refuge.


Species memory of walking in a garden,

safe in spinifex and shadows.
