Water Across Gaan's Back
By Gathang Group Poem
Published 8 October 2025
Ngatha grain of sand
Ngatha rock
Ngatha the blue ocean
Ngatha rock on the sand
Ngatha Gupa swimming in the ocean
Ngatha naluwi
Ngatha waves
Ngatha pebble washed by the ocean
Ngatha gumul, eagle story in the sky
Ngatha leaf on a wati, tree
Ngatha water across gaan’s back
Ngatha baraya country birdong
Ngatha sound of water
Ngatha sound of waves crashing
Ngatha pipis in the sand
Ngatha gaku, kookaburra watching
Ngatha gaan singing in the see
Ngatha wind in the sky
Ngatha sand on the cookie
Ngatha pipis under my feet
Ngatha gaan bugalen gurrwa-ga
Whale swimming in the ocean
