A Summary of Parts
8 Aug 2022

I am selling what no longer serves me in pursuit of nothing at all. A body is money, never mind time. Half-priced, used, one of a kind. A body is money. I have put a price tag on the parts of my life that are considered foundational. My mother who swipes her credit card with a delicate sharpness, a practitioner of conditional living. Sign it all away, think less. Spend money on your kids before global warming snatches them up.

Supple wings, veined and iridescent—do they wink at you, tips curling over the top of toadstools from where their bearers peek at you, like a puzzle to be solved, like prey to be stolen from? They whisper behind cupped hands, the sound rushing to blow the strands off your neck.

Voiceworks is largely produced and edited on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. As a national publication, we pay our respects to the traditional custodians of all the lands from which our stories and artwork were sourced and acknowledge that this has always been and will always be Aboriginal land.
