The gathering crowd


madira a lešaba an army standing in the light a go tlalatlala jwalo ka dinose a swarm of bees in midday flight morwalela o mogolo a deluge crashing on the shore go khora mo gogolo surfeit of life and nothing more go tlala ka go feteletša plethora resting in the sun go feta mohlala overkill before the race is run mohlape wa pitlagano a flock gathered in close retreat go fana go go feteletšego oversupply upon the street pitlagano ya batho a throng that moves with heavy pace tša go feta tekanyo superfluity of time and space lešaba la bafagahli a horde that marches through the night go pitlagana a crush of hearts in burning light lefula le le feteletšego kudu superabundance ever bright phetaphetogo ya go se hlokege redundancy in morning light
