Cronulla Beach by Jose Wendell P. Capili

Cronulla Beach in Australia has been taken over by white people wielding bats, erasing the Aboriginal landscape and culture that once existed there. Where the Aboriginal people and natural sights like starfish once ruled the shore, now racist groups seek to keep their dominance and prevent diversity through oppressive means. The spaces that were once home to Aboriginal hamlets have been reduced to mere remnants, with their culture in danger of being lost.

Cronulla Beach

by Jose Wendell P. Capili

Blood surges rapidly


along Cronulla Beach.
Armed with bats,
white bodies are mad
replications of tents,
parasols and sunblinds
spreading all over
what used to be kurranulla,
aboriginal landscapes,
the place of pink seashells.
There is no chieftain
on the shore, no starfish
where dominion shatters.
Not too far behind,
thugs and their hand
maids constrict exquisite
shades of perplexity
to keep generations
pure and sterile.
Spaces beneath vestiges
of hamlets from long ago
have become driftwood,
shells, cleavers of melting
pots and succession.
They are swaying eerily
translucent as postcards
bereft of scintillating light
in the heated-up weather.

So racializing, this soap
