...my grandfather cried out
to the old soldiers
passing by
'higga macia' they replied
higga macia g', he shouted back
'higga macia g wa' they replied
the air electrified
with emotions, memories and
mateship raw -
my mother saw!!
clinging to his only leg
spellbound by his battle cry
above Melbourne's ANZAC crowds
lining the streets
as the 23rd battalion passed by
