Who Comes Calling? begins with an open hand of a poem, its structure mimicking five uncurling fingers numbering off the things which Australia means to the persona, as a girl growing up in Singapore with family in Australia. @singlitstation @wapoets

ALT Erased Now, we cannot speak or tweet without our words being cancelled or erased. Now, we choke on our own content, and voice less hope and more rage. Now, our files have finally been corrupted, our memories unable to be obtained. Now, we have flattened the page of our own expectations, and crossed off the lists of the words we can no longer claim. Now, the lines we've deleted have stained us like ink, obscured and littered markings on our newest-growing skin. Now, when everyone's exhausted by the never-coming, never-ending rain.
