A sun Flower
won’t pain my eyes
or burn my skin,
won’t vaporise
my breath, which I so carefully conserve
Yet still,
with gentle warmth and joy it Beams!
and tenderly lights my heart
and, it, preserves
that it might pace my body’s march
through yet another day BACK TO POEMS
Brona Sparkes
I acknowledge the Awabakal people of the unceded Aboriginal land where I live and work, and all the Traditional Owners of Country across Australia. I recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ continuing connection to land, place, waters and community. I pay my respects to them, their heritage and cultures, and to Elders past and present.
