Early lexicographers and missionaries
translated the Arrernte altyerre as “God”
or “Dream,” in Warlpiri jukurrpa, meaning,
eternal uncreated mother country see
put fetch totemic time of creation eat
for breakfast story film sleep talk track

Lots of accidents
stabilizing this tau-
crossed room
of adobe
shade, spaced
out with crumpled cars
Upon the concrete seal
float squares of light
sun-thaw, snow unsealed

or is true as
Happiness
Birth
A pure river
Conditions for the equal good
to be as wise and fortunate
at the start
Lost in the pursuit
Under a white oak
two children sitting back
to back on a plank swing, calling
The hand
that touches the earth
to witness
Presses the metal latch, opens
the screen door out from home
