PAIN AND LONGING
PAIN AND LONGING
Reluctant wood lay
marbled down His spine
as His passion extracted
His strength in diamond
drops daggered
my hip pain a micro
misplay of that which
nailed His truth :
Our bodies messages
carrying might and light
My cinnamon essence drifts
in this dwelling damp
longing for a wooden cabin
where Baboon stared at
shadowed breasts
I waved his fascination
through shower grate
unfastened, unhastened
seeing Christ in wild eyes
Knysna forest an apt
calling backdrop
mushroomed mossed
Seven heart muscles
contract and expand in
tired colour to usher pain
rhyming longing piercing
pine needles, boulders
in memory fall as
desert rain quenching
knowing that its core
lies in dark wells of
faraway hearing
tender beats stringing
steel fibres for placid
pearlescent Pleiadian
Home
So I tread on in this
blustery city with patience
longing, listless
nurturing a curule crown
His hand piercings a faint
ring of thorn shadows on
my open Sekhem palms
questing all questioning pain
into microscopic spheres
under veined mottled lids
Baboon, forest, longing
sleep, pain, bougainvillea
threadbare child hiding one
egg at Spaza shop
all but passing fleeting
frames on this eternal
faded tapestry
I stitch tranquility as lacy
pagoda overlay
