Bitja (Fire) by Moorina Bonini
Caring for my Country
Breathing
Country pulses and the blood in my veins pulse in response
I walked outside and I put my feet into the sand
Dirt
Water
Country I covered my feet with Country one handful after another
and buried myself in the space
Where I have always belonged.
Bitja(Fire) revitalises, and through the smoke and charcoal
Country heals.
Listen.
