human resilience
confounds,
offsets comic hopelessness
where unworldly conditions
remain under-reported
and sees survival instinct
rebirth,
on the distraction
of a single
raindrop’s pat.
Arrhythmic (poem)
By Geoffrey Aitken
human resilience
confounds,
offsets comic hopelessness
where unworldly conditions
remain under-reported
and sees survival instinct
rebirth,
on the distraction
of a single
raindrop’s pat.
Stephenie Lau returns to her roots to witness the pro-democracy movement and to experience this defining moment in Hong Kong’s history.
Although Sandra Renew’s poem is a response to the police-led violence of the Bjelke-Petersen era in Queensland, it remains relevant to recent protests in which police seek to silence dissent.
