Late Afternoon In My Study
Late afternoon the Karoo-sun battles
with trees and leaves
to be noticed
The shadows dance and play
on the ground
like children...

Sunday Afternoons
In dusty Karoo towns
Sunday afternoons are
sentences of solitary confinement
Deserted streets
closed doors and windows
No sign of life

October
October
There is disquiet in the air tonight
The noise is still is sullen
Summery with a hint of Sunday blue.
A cricket in the Karoo
A mom sitting on the patio
Howling at the moon
Far far away.
A circular spiral of panic
Then nothing
Not even a breath.
The fever in me recognises the fever in you
Namaste.

Mystery Girl
Marie Charlotte in the back of the Beetle, sleeping
Young lovers, engaged on the road with their destiny
Suddenly through the fog… a cliff… a scream…dreadfully
Two lovers resting in the Klein Karoo, not breathing
Easter Weekend, come every year, or so people say
Riding next to the road with her thumb on Good Friday
You might pick up the young mystery girl from Uniondale...
