Dying



we make them
we break them
we take them
we shake them

~ and her Buddhist prayer flag
caught a throat ~

The horrible guilt
of being trapped
in a decision.

My karma will lower my status,
bring her a higher one –
where only love shall fill her
peaceful harmony

and they say we have to be Strong to do this.
as if they fucking know it all.

Life so badly turns a full circle
it’s scary.
The desolation of events
from Karoo to Karoo...

screams

as I reluctantly wash her off my hands.

nameless poem


she lost her feather
and the bird fell
off the branch

Trapped herself once again
with choices,
commas and semicolons
shouldn’t be
Some things can never be

-stop apologising-
-you worry too much-

there was an honest ease in innocence
and a dangerous urgency that sucked
all pain away from memory

Moonstarsplit


Away 

a half a moon
is hanging
in a heavy sky

and far apart
a single star
plays solitaire
with empty space

she finds herself
unexpectedly
alone
-game over-
all the others gone,
laid neatly aside.
.
.
her marble hovers in a hole

Half Moon           stuck
watches
but doesn’t see
‘cause his curve of eye
is turned away

towards the sun
while she is stuck
in an eternity
eternity
eternity
eternity


dis stil
Rustig
Oggend
almal slaap

maar kalmte hang slegs
omkring my skreeu
wat vasgevang
in vel en been
probeer ontsnap

Buddha glimlag oë toe
bied haar lotus vrede aan my
ek asem karma in
tot diep in die oer

dis stil
‘n Nuwe dag
word skreeuend stil

Want jy is Stil
doodstil
