Ania Walwicz
Ania Walwicz (born 1951) is a contemporary Australian poet and prose writer, and visual artist.
Ania Walwicz spent her childhood in Poland, coming to Australia in 1963 where she attended the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) in Melbourne. Her writing tends toward an impressionistic, stream of consciousness exploration of inner states. It also exploits 'appropriative' or 'sampling' techniques of production. Apart from publication in numerous anthologies, journals and several books her work has been performed by La Mama Theatre, the Sydney Chamber Choir and more recently set to music by ChamberMade. She has performed her work in France, Japan and Switzerland and currently teaches creative writing at RMIT in Melbourne.

One Lotus
by: KramusThis can't be nothing
My insides twist in pain
And I focus on the pure things
That I try to make sustain
And I reach out like my father
And I let it eat me up
(Figure out)
(Pre-Chorus)
Take everything I own
I already gave my soul
(Chorus)
It hurts so much, I must get by
I am old enough to know wrong from right
The sight of you is inside of me
I can self-destruct but I'll just sleep
(Verse)
I'm over all these mind games
You make me think the wrong thing
And I try to release anger
Through the music and songs I sing
But the violence that you've brought us
For letting them fuck you
(Fade out)
(Pre Chorus)
Take everything I own
I already gave my soul
(Chorus)
It hurts so much, I must get by
I am old enough to know wrong from right
The sight of you is inside of me
I can self-destruct but I'll just sleep
(Outro)
You're out of this world and disastrous
