ANZAC _^_ RISING (TEXT)
ANZAC RISING

It's refreshingly mortal
to walk
within this buried circle
Though they all died
for one cause
remember how their lives
were dense
with fine impacted difference

Quite they lay
no breath ruffles
the damp deeps

Charmed by dove's voices
the sleep
whisper on straw

To those whose vigour
once hurled a universe
now rest
where eyelids
have not closed before

To those who overflowed
all skies all years
waiting for eternity...
keep warm these naked stars
fallen from our arms

To you who had
so far to come
now play in a billion places
sunshine laughing
through translucent wings.
