Song from LookUpLookUp 2019 Melissa Main
A song of the sadness and madness of deepening my understanding of Australian colonisation and where we're at with that.
The mist on the flat lands
in the moonlight, make a blanket
never mine, or thine
though the for sale signs deny it
how do you live with sadness?
How do you do it?
How do you live with sadness?
How do you, how do you do it?
I drive on clandestine roads
the truth is colonised
There’s a haphazard man in rubbish bag vest
He runs it, the gauntlet, at midnight
I swerve
How do you live with madness?
How do you, how do you do it?
How do you live with madness?
How do you, how do you do it?
Tea swirls
anti-clockwise to your mouth
your eyes shine
While gently you laugh
you say
how do you live with sadness?
The answer, my love
is with practice
The answer, my love
is with practice
with practice
with practice
I drive on clandestine roads
I turn left
more than right.
