Colour negative
My ear is colour positive
the red rim boils
from your words, a bright
light bursts from the auricle
and hangs in front of my mouth
in front of my held breath
my lips not quite open
my thoughts unspoken
my look colour negative
with well blooded brains
crossed arms, glowing
with suspicion and defiance
with the desire to attack
You won't get away with it
you won't get away with it
you won't get away with it
Painting "Genetiese Heimwee (Genetic Longing)" (1984, Marlene Dumas)
Poem "5. Genetiese Heimwee" (2000, Antjie Krog, bundel "Kleur kom nooit alleen nie" ("Colour never comes alone")
Collection "Changing Times"
