Quotes by Omar Musa (?)

“It is then he realises that certain things loom larger than forgiveness and reconciliation: memory, for one, and history, bloody history.”
― Omar Musa, Here Come The Dogs

“Mercury starts barking
at a bunch of colourful parrots sitting in the bending fennel.
I let him off the leash,
and they twitter and fly away,
points
in a
moving constellation.

Dad used to say Aussie birds reminded him
of fish in the reef near his village,
Free, multicoloured, dreamlike.”
― Omar Musa, Here Come The Dogs
