Waited for you, you came
Over three days I waited,
Over three days I cried,
But no matter how much
You tried I still had
Tears left to cry

Nurambang yali – Country speaks
~ Jeanine Leane

It’s been too long since I sat on granite in my Country and thought Too many years since I breathed this air— Bunyi-ng—ganha Felt this dirt—Ngamanhi Dhaagun Smelt this dust—Budha—nhi Bunan Listened for the sounds of her words that say ‘Balandha—dhuraay Bumal-ayi-nya Wumbay abuny (yaboing)’—History does not have the first claim. Nor the last word. Nghindhi yarra dhalanbul ngiyanhi gin gu ‘You can speak us now!’
