A poem about hybrid identities from Australian based poet Ian Irvine. Copyright 2008-2009, all rights reserved. Image of 'Marcus and Lena Waving from Gold Tailings'(i.e. the author's children) copyright Kyra Bethell/Ian Irvine 1999 all rights reserved.

Mother Europe! (though let’s not be too gender specific) I’m waving at the edges of your apocalypse. Waving at your anaesthetised hordes scrapered amongst the phantoms of forests. I’m waving ankle deep in sand-dune I’m waving respectful of scorpion and secretive reptiles mercurial as mid-summer sunlight strange angle of rock face, dusk and dawn igniting. And my head hurts on account of all these memories and dehydration, or is it vertigo of a zone without boundaries? Mother Europe! (though let’s not be too gender specific).
