      “The Dugong’s Path” by Wulai Karntawarra, Australia (1880-1959)

      May 21, 2026

      We follow her trail

      in the songlines beneath the tide.

      Where she swims, we remember

      our grandmothers’ hands shaping stone knives,

      and how they called to her—

      gently, never in haste.
