I will not stand by while abuse happens
six months of cyclical hell
the push and pull of your desire
insatiate
this issue has never been singular
confined to some imaginary private space
in the public view of us all
using your circumstances to justify
the victimisation of another
to the point of collapse
the coloniser builds a fort
because they’re afraid
of their own violent mirror-image
projected into the landscape
do you recognise
yours?
