Ostrich Shell : verse

  


my ostrich shell painted with 

               springbok and entangled daisies 

                     blowing in icy wind

I drink yolk and albuminous 
               whisperings along rushing waves

                        we are soft dreams where 

                               a fishing boat stood
 buildings now deserted 

                               ¥

                    storehouse freshly painted in ochre 
                    fishing nets drawn alleluia 
                    dreams float with the sardines 
                    drinking coke we celebrate catch
                    wind skips along Hout Bay shore
                    daisies clap wild petals yellow
                 shells smashed we eat boiled yolk
