This pledge that l,Ntando, make today serves
as my guideline that I shall follow
happily, ungrudgingly and tirelessly
for the sake of our love life.

I see hate in me and all around me.
Anger hate frustration lostness, loneliness, failure.
Don't know a way around it, it's like a wall I cant break down
So I must hide it well and hide it...

A TRAIN IN THE DISTANCE

This morning
I heard the long, moaning sound
Of a train in the distance
Moving past town.
If only it could carry me away.

And I thought in this instance
Of the folly of resistance
To the darkness...

Grim, hollow, pointless
Walk limping through its lostness
For a name he is clueless
For a past he is dreamless

His insight is only some bored routinity
Which is stuck in the airport of dead society
Killing time like it never...

No page in an atlas.

The space in-between
Two worlds
When we transition 
From dreamland
To harsh reality
That moment
When you are
Neither here
Nor there
Traversing
The barrier
Crossing 
The line
Stepping in
Stepping out
Over the threshold 
Negotiating the border
The ready, steady

The rising red curtain
Before the show
Liminal lostness
