choosing

sometimes the truth
sits in the choosing
and not the choice
that’s made
sometimes the pain
is not the losing
but the loss of days

stepping through

stepping through
to the simplicity
that lies beyond
what is called
intricate
between me
and the layers of you

your answer

disperse
containment defied
scatter yourself
as far and as wide as possible
without losing your mind
look back
and you will find your answer

wings

you can stretch
until your spine snaps
spreads apart
separates you
from earth
tears tendons
and flesh
the absurd
desire to leave
my feet
and grow
wings

ek dryf

ek dryf in koperson
want wolke is te wit om op te trap
en blou lug te min om my te hou
ek dryf in illovo-stroop lig
wat om my vou
soos ‘n ma se hande wat skulp
om ‘n kind se huil

die waarheid is

sy wil iets beteken
nie iets hê
of word
of kry
of raak nie

nie nut
of hulp
of help
of raad nie

sy wil net iets beteken
wat sy nie in haarself maak nie

appetite

all the blood and violence
awakened ferocious appetite for life
a bright gleaming hunger
on the edge of the knife
every moment a juicy morsel
born from strife
