The song is gone; the dance
is secret with the dancers in the earth,
the ritual useless, and the tribal story
lost in an alien tale.

to mark the dancing-ring; the apple-gums
posture and mime a past corroboree,
murmur a broken chant.

is splintered underground; the painted bodies
a dream the world breathed sleeping and forgot.
The nomad feet are still.

halts at a sightless shadow, an unsaid word
that fastens in the blood of the ancient curse,
the fear as old as Cain. — Judith A. Wright
