Description: From the water that drops to the soil and molds in with the pieces of sticks and clay that are picked up on the way, to its journey as it sinks into the soil, to the particles of the soil, those tiny pieces of sticks and leaves and grass and sands, as they become huge rocks. We see them, we see them as we go down, inside the soil and then deep in; we see the roots of the trees as we pass through. We fall in between; we seep into the soil, down past the roots, past worms in the soil, the creatures and bugs; together we travel down to the underground water and travel with the flood, out to the river, into the currents, down to the sea (adapted from Burarrwanga et al. 2019, 257–258). When Yolŋu women cry milkarri, they keen their songspirals; they bring the world to life with language and keep it alive.
