Sister Swan

By | 13 May 2024

sister told us 2 go stake out the bunning bins if we ever needed freebies
when she feels lucky she loves a good dip in an open skip

she says it’s our inner city’s untapped treasure chest
a blessed spot with its own subterranean network

first
watch from the street
keep ur head down take a deep breath then

go!
cross tha road
(mind that ute)

make beeline to the seedlings
sister says swan plants r priceless they’ll soon ladder U up to the stars

think gestating fly babies
think gestating gold glowing chrysalis resolve

if a waspy pest narrows their eyes at u tell em to fuk off

where u see treasures they sees trash where u see chance they sees crime (but
they won’t report u no they already got their honey hit on a silver spoon)

no rest for the wicked
ha!

sister says stop
sister says focus
(before the big bang this bb held the universe in da palm of her hand)

💯

go light up the heavens till the kererū drop out
rain on our skin til our butterflies break free
dance on our graves cos yr lit lil genies

we glow brighter & stronger every day (we’re up 2 our necks in it)

high lil souls aren’t we?
