the void’s salt stories

carved into constellation

Djallam bardip

kodjat walyalup boodjarak

 

a series of notes drawn

ephemeral structures traced

Koora wirnt

kwornt ngaran-iny

 

disparate fragments announced

a lightness of presence layered

Kendjil karda

biargar nidja

 

Mother/Sun

Ngarngk

 

concentrate elements to belong

koorliny gep ngan-iny gep

 

a collective composition repairs

Nidja kwoornt daan did-iny

 

before and after its being

koora wer korliny

 

together spaces

where one hesitates

Ngalla nidja

windji noonook kaatidj

 

in a place and time drink

Yeyi Nidjak ngan-iny gep

 

a natural utterance

Er.

Dtabakarn
