Bora born
Joe boy's run
Monsoon rain's
finally here
mutta warm
fresh and clear
mountain shed
same as cairns
windy wet
cyclone's fan.
Text e come
late that day
sorry one
mutta say
angela
joseph's wife
was to be
viewed on site.
At burkin's
mortuary
lain in state
thempla see
final views
from our side
goodbyes said
one last ride.
On the plane
in two days
bamaga's
friday made
funeral
in the straits
loved ones come
in her wake.
The most decent woman I have known
inside her coffin resiled lies prone.
Those girls she grew so close to her
ignored the love she conferred
now stand before her dry eyed tears
their karma set for later years.
