All, Poems (Cape Town)

Sense

Everything a blur at the moment.

Somehow all, in it senselessness,

Makes sense.

The light turns to obscurity and moons sprout from Aurora’s mouth.

Jackals cry ‘kaw-kaw’ from the branches of the rawboned trees

And I swim through stone in the rugged mountains.

I am free

And what it means to be free

Bursts from my pores in colored fancy.

I glide-paint my rainbows in drag-star fashion

Down the phosphorescent runways

Of these things we call life.

And those that speak of reality

Idly sit by

As the currents of wish-wash babble

Rule their lives

And I long to paddle up

Rolling hills of lubricious sand

To hazard the hope that anything is

Possible.
