    Getye

    Ek het gegroei, deurdrenk met die natuur se waters
    soos ‘n seeslak in seefosfor:
    in my het verbryselde seesout teruggespat
    en my ware gebeente gevorm.
    Hoe om te verduidelik? Amper sonder […]

    The poet’s words dry up

    Everything has been said,
    the old poet realised.
    What more can be said,
    for instance,
    about love,
    than the established fact
    that it is a mechanism
    to produce
    workers and […]

    Different degrees of wetness

    You are running
    the Comrades,
    it is the third hour
    and the sun is blazing down,
    the thin layer
    on your forehead
    keeps forming,
    drops roll down your cheeks;

    Inheritance

    Shall we create
    a new world
    from the seed of a fig,
    from the pips
    in the inner curve
    of a banana?

    Shall we march
    towards the mountains
    on the sturdy legs
    of whales,
    the nimble feet […]

    A newly born word

    The usuality
    of it is very low,
    the first observer -

    Robin wasn’t good

    There was a element
    of doubt
    in everything he thought.
    He was not convinced
    that stones were hard,
    as he was not certain
    of exactly what “hard” meant.
    He could not convince himself
    that the […]

    Mind full

    My mind
    is an empty space,
    lit by the morning sun.
    Many tiny flecks
    whirl
    when I move my hand.
    Insignificant
    tiny objects:
    a miniscule piece of a blanker,
    slivers of skin, grains of […]

    If souls had colours

    What is underneath
    the green of this leaf?
    It is not green
    I am told,
    it simply waves its coat
    of a certain wavelength
    of light
    in my eye.
    I cannot see the leaf,
    only its […]

    Hello Ulrika

    Sorry I took so long to answer. I was very busy the last week or so.

    In the light of what was thought      

    He had a accident
    and is now in intensive thinking.

    By no fault of his own
    he happened on a thought:

    that Rembrandt revealed
    by obscuring –

    You have to play today      

    Yesterday was a cello,
    it’s notes slowly sinking into memory,
    a melody that contained complex parts
    and sections that shared notes contemplatively.

    The cognate hunter

    The hunter
    kept very quiet,
    listening for his prey –
    then he heard it:
    mother.
    She slowly moved into full view,
    it took his breath away.
    The others followed
    at a sedate pace, […]

    Weather thinking

    Masses of moist air
    move over the land,
    here and there shaking a tree
    with a fat hind foot.

    I breathe some of it in,
    the wetness
    kind to my lungs.

    I breathe it out in words
    that […]

    Life in retail

    He read her barcode.
    It was a very satisfactory reading.
    She had all the qualities
    that he was looking for:

    only a few artificial flavours,

    System failure

    Kurt was a systematic man.
    His father was born in Salzburg,
    his mother in Potchefstroom.

    At school
    he allocated time
    for studies
    and for sports,
    formal as well as informal.

    Natural habit

    I remember the growl
    of the leopard
    in my bones,
    his coughing growl,

    his teeth in the neck
    of the ape
    red teeth.

    I remember the swish
    of the leopard’s tail,
    he is coming,
