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
...

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?
...

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

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

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

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