Where My Heart Perches
By Siwa H

Home is where the heart is.
Well,
My heart flutters with the falling eucalypt leaves
My heart sways with the red gums
My heart beats with the wings of the black cockatoos
and soars with the wind.
My body sits atop the sandstone
Atop the world
Atop the giver of life
And the cradle of learning
I breathe
I breathe;
The wind
The earth
The bark
Home.
I live.
