I am making, thinking, working and living on stolen Wangal,
Cammeraygal and Gadigal lands of the Eora nation as an
uninvited guest. I would like to acknowledge and pay my
respects to the elders past and present.

This acknowledgement of country also does not
substitute ongoing actions for reparations.

your spit is my nest

Your spit is warm as bird's nest, my spit solidifies in the gap between mothers. I make the swallow's nests that you used to feed us with your, and now, my saliva. It rests gently on a sugar bed of my bones. Spitting is outside kissing is an intergenerational feeding is a self-love that binds all of me together.
