Burn

by Indrani Perera

 

the blood, the blood

runs deep

they say

 

the earth, the earth

stands firm

 

the air, the air

smells sweet 

they say

 

the earth, the earth

stands firm

 

the tears the tears

heal all

they say

 

my soul

      my soul

             still burns

Indrani lives on Wurrundjeri Country in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia)
and she acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land.
Sovereignty was never ceded and she pays the rent.
