The Princes Highway<br />

Melanie Weckert<br />

The colony was<br />

an evil thing<br />

it snaked along<br />

a poisonous course.<br />

Move aside<br />

we’re coming through!<br />

to multiply<br />

procreate<br />

dominate.<br />

Flinty hooves<br />

ruined soil<br />

ancient bones<br />

Murnong spoilt<br />

its roots exposed.<br />

I hear the sounds<br />

of ancient groans.<br />

Coastal meander<br />

Ant-nest fringed<br />

eucalypts, tree fern<br />

paddocks cleared.<br />

Gurnai to Yuin<br />

Jirribitti Dreaming<br />

the snake must<br />

shed its skin.<br />
