| Notes | This is a short poem which appears to explore the issue of high levels of suicide among indigenous communities, including Australia, which is mentioned by name in this poem. The persona in the poem appears to have taken his own life as an 'answer' to the confusion of the world. The poem implies that his mind had been turned somewhat by the realities of colonization. There is wordplay here relating to 'dubh' and 'geal' - 'black' and 'white' - which appears to reinforce the realities of colonization and minoritization suffered by indigenous communities. |
