Ali Eckermann Poems

She gives him a cloud of parrots
He expects her to peel the carrots
She gives him a safari cruise
He expects her to hide the bruise
...

old Mr Uluru
a proud man
the day the Rock
was handed back
...

There is no life
but Family.

When I am young
...

You call it 3 bedroom house
I call it big lotta trouble

You call it electricity
...

Sit down sorry camp
Might be one week
Might be long long time
...

‘See you’ I said to the children
as I memorised
their Anangu faces
filled with laughter
...

When john howard said
let’s have an intervention
the women shouted yes!
...

1
they’re here now
the Guardians
sitting on a rock
...

Sit down in the dirt and brush away the flies
Sit down in the dirt and avoid the many eyes

I never done no wrong to you, so why you look at me?
...

in an aisle
of middens
he blocks her
advance
...
