I’m soaked
to the bone
my cigarette smoke
flutters
through
the drops
staying
alive
the only
mission
Epiphany
I finally understood
my world has moved on
I’m left here floating
trying to find a way
out
If this is supposed to be fun, why am I crying all the time?
Maybe
I have died
in April 2020
Maybe
it is just
my ghost
traveling
through this time
silently screaming
“Let me out!”
Fingers on my wetness, wishing it was you
Verlore drome 1
en al wat ek wou hê
was om in jou arms te lê
die glas wyn
net neer te sit
en verlore
te raak
in my
en jou
maar dit
is nou net ‘n droom
wat was.
net soos die glas
vir ‘n hervul wag
soek ek die lag
elke vandag
in die dae wat was
‘n vraag?
Hoe skryf jy,
oor jare se stil bly?
Hoe vertel jy,
die storie sonder, om soos ‘n drama-lama, te lyk?
Hoe word jy
weer mens
nadat
jy
agterkom
jy roei
nogsteeds
die droomboot
nadat
Mev. Swanepoel
in standard 2
gesê het:
“Word Wakker”
Love
Rain drops in the morn
a life at mourn
in jasmine adorn
forever forlorn
a heart torn
Dreams
1.
Last night I dreamt
I phoned my mom
and the phone just rang
Eventually the phone was answered
a day later
“Rivendale clinic”
I can’t remember much of the conversation
Just that they’ve been in an accident
and out of theatre
Today
I bought champagne
and cooked them dinner

Last night I dreamt
About a two brothers
and a contract going bad
gathering my bearings
while treading water
my friend gets paid
50c per sentence she’s writing
and the lamb curry is bubbling away
3.
I was chasing a dream lover
When she appeared
With lips
Ferrari red
Explaining
How turbo was invented
She went to the club
With her dad
but left early
cause too old for the shit
and he came up to me
squeezing my hand
and disappeared
4.
last night
I dreamt
a dream of long ago
I killed a man
by accident really
I drove over him
with my rental car
and discarded the body
I was so anxious of being
found out,
but in time
I forgot about that dream
last night
it came back
and haunted me
Oh, the guilt
waking up
wondering for a moment
did it really happened?
