Born to Rage

...I woke with blood in my mouth
and no memory
of the scab that sealed the rasure.

I’m cat-spitting
dog-growling
peregrine-divebombing
rooster-flogging
badger-flipping
hornet-stinging

Gone Fishing

...
Despairing seafaring..can be

Lore of days of yore

Glories or gory

Bold stories told 

Foreshore folklore

Hemingway’s…Old 

Man and the Sea


Smiles..feeling chipper

The Lamp Post

...There was a lamp post, just one,
in the middle of a field at night—
no road leading to it,
no fence surrounding it,
just light standing there
like a question no one asked,
glowing for no one.

Zzzz

...
Having counted wooly sheep
was woken from a deep delta sleep
in the middle of the night
thought I'd heard a pig snort
but no that can't be right
tho' kicked out of bed
and landing on ...

Still Blinking III

...First, remove the eyelids—
they hold too much fiberglass.
Grind streetlight into gunpowder,

Aliens on the Park

...
With skateboard tight in hand, his hair cut to the skull, 
he takes long drags on cigarettes, flinging each butt 
with an easy flick of fingers.

At five feet, slim, in sockless sneakers large ...

Face to My Demons

...At the cradle of my nightmares,
My future is a horror film,
I track my ghosts,
Like a junkie in withdrawal.
I am a true clandestine calamity,
A mass grave of silent suffering,
A candelabra of p...

Of Knights and Spandex

...The knights that in histories lurk,
They never wore spandex to work.
O’er heroes today
That dress in this way,
The dragons, they snort and they smirk.

Cape Flats gangs fighting

...In the Cape flats the bullets are flying
Today people are dying
The gangs are killing
To them it is fulfilling 

It is a deed so sad   
It can only be done by the bad
The gangs don’t feel a th...

being with a friend

...Being with a friend means I can snort milk out of my nose
And we will laugh hard every time we think of it
I can share a confidence, knowing it will not be repeated
I can laugh until I am crying, ...

Nilgiri Tahr

...Sure-footed on rugged hill
Likes life on mountain range
Rolling grassland fits the bill
Short horns reveal their age
Ovines in endangered stage

Males change from Brown, grey to black

I looked at my plate; it was not playing

Do all friends criticize or just my friends...
