followed by ships for killing after the slaughter, convicts arrived clusters
of rectangles on rolling hills and then they went the tide soon brought

stories of lives loved and lost there is a whale grave in the ruined penitentiary
the blood of animals under the mess hall pustulent stains and geese propagate
preservation and decay a place possum comes back to in the night while
dawn brings pademelon roll over me sun roll over me rain ------ Cape
