Woylie

A woylie in the dark,
The Bottongia pencillata in a place of darkness
Lives in a place with no biodiversity
Eyes black like a dark night sky
Elastic tail
Europeans have given them a challenge to seek
Foxes and cats have come on this ship
12,000 left in the wilderness
Small as can be, the size of your palm
Swinging on trees
Giving birth to babies, the size of your thumb
The cracking sound airs from the forest
Taking out habitats that belong to them
