A Poem For Eviction Day, Matilda Social Centre, 111 Matilda Street. Final Eviction for Us will be Tuesday 27th June at 9am. Please be there for Funeral Ceremony
Requiescat in Pacem, dear Matilda/
To revive and flourish Some Other Time/
Dream of Us who always dreamt of You/
Let's sleep in oblivion for a While/
It was a summer solstice in two thousand and six/
The day they came with laws on their hands/
To get things right --they said. To fix/
Your demolition As it was planned;/
Your funeral will be held in Days/
But we rejoice 'coz you'll never Die/
Neither in June, July nor May/
So requiescat, Matilda, say goodbye/
To the good old nights when songs and play/
Were all your nurture, Mum;/
Let me weave flowers in your Hair/
Let me arrange your Hairbun./
