Repair by Rae Sabine


I gave my words,

clear and chosen,

the ones that fit

who I am today.


For a moment

I felt recognised.


Then old language

was laid over me again,

as if I hadn’t already

set it down.


A boundary

was agreed to,

then not held.


I held my line.


A boundary,

not a breach.


Later came silence

where repair should have been.

I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land where I live and work, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. I acknowledge that this land was never ceded and always was, always will be Aboriginal land. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

I celebrate, value and include people of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, cultures, age groups, spiritual beliefs, physical abilities and disabilities.
