Other Terrain Literary Journal

We pay homage to Australia’s original storytellers who remind us that storytelling is about deep listening. We recognise Australia’s First Nations Peoples for their ongoing connection to storytelling, country, culture, and community. We also respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we’re all situated and recognise that it was never ceded.

Other Terrain

By Richard James Allen

 

 

                                            I don’t like falling asleep in bed,

                                            especially if I am going to die there.

 

                                            It’s like getting a sneak preview, every

                                            night.

 

                                            Better to fall asleep accidentally, 

                                            somewhere, anywhere, and 

 

                                            not see death coming.
