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
...

There is no life
but Family.

When I am young
...

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

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
...

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

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

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?
...

Mallets pound fence posts
in tune with the rifles
to mask massacre sites
Cattle will graze
...
