Tasmanian
Of earth and stars
Not extinguished at death
Guerrilla strikes – “reconnaissance, ritual preparation, weaponry, wind speed and direction…”
Eldest girl, Mary, covered in blood
Radius bone violently torn away
Life saved
Of earth and stars
Not extinguished at death
Garment of wool lined with linen or fine-weave wool
Esteemed
Tasmanian
Edged with white
Remembered no more
.
