Bora born
Mad bobby _
Culture driven madness enters his head
as the knife sings grief in his bony leg.
Fleshed out thighs, slice through scars of old
culture driven madness begs grief retold.
His skins group sister shakes off her old form
to bless her shadow, a sorry camp's born.
Kumenjai names soon release for all time
her shade from those loved ones, as oil from wine.
Her brother persists with each bony leg
too many, so deep, grief driven in red.
Urwanga cries out her desert bush name
a Warlpiri man's brief, slow witness to pain.
