groen geel appels

groen vlaktes in die verte
geel gerwe naby my
grasse waai
lewe dans
vrede groei in my binneste

mosambiek se see roer
water skommel teen die dow se planke
eenvoudige vissermanne wag
oranje sonsakstrale kleur
ou geskeurde lap seil voue

grenslose spasie skep-skep sout lug teue

marmer appel lyf
gekou gevorm
rug lyn glad gekurf
mooi skoonheid kyk vorentoe
vrouwees boude boobs gesond

waiting for breath

divine breath
exhaled, over a Windhoek Light
from dirt we come
in dirt we live
fragile

breathe out fear
breathe in light
breathe out pain
breathe in love
breathe out shame
breathe in grace

sanctified mud
purged from within, let go of
left behind hurts
failures forgotten
peace

breathe out fear
breathe in light
breathe out pain
breathe in love
breathe out shame
breathe in grace

divine flesh
smiling at me, closeness
friends by accident
friends by choice
intimacy
forever
