"dade" poems
In die asemdroogtes van die nag
Word ek gebombardeer deur die warrelwinde van my ongesproke woorde
Wat ten laaste my hart van dolomiet versag
Skrapnel vlieg rond in die inner ruimtes van my gesonder verstand
In die geweldadige debat tussen die skynbare sinneloosheid van die Woord
En die gevoel van jou hand in myne
In geheim bou ek ń koningryk van lugkastele
Waarin jou beeld in elke kamer pronk.
Maar selfs díe verdwyn in die wasige misgordyn van dade
Waarvoor ek self nog swyg
Ten slotte:
Ek smag na jou...

sommige mense siele some people’s souls
skyn van hul shine out of
ligame uit their bodies
anders is betrap others are trapped
vasgevang embroiled
in bitter denke in bitter thoughts
in bitter dade in bitter deeds
opgevreet consumed
deur by
angst anxiety
jalousie jealousy
gierigheid greed
onsekerheid uncertainty
opgetwis twisted up
onbewus unaware

Looking NOW from a mountain of experiences
23 years worth of a bag of knowledge
i can see so much more
Taste so much more
feel so much more
The dust in my eye, the strength of my people
the stench of the streets, the Hustle of the day to day
Ross didn't know **** in Dade county
Come here... To come here
Hear and be touched by the cradle of a nation
Listen to her tears, Let her Nurse and Strengthen and Discipline you
Nurtured, Appreciated and slowly being disintegrated but the VERY people..
She cares for
She's Burning
Yet she Stands
Yet she calls
Arise, O compatriots
Naija
She waits

meki đoka
popularan beše
dok ne uze
skulpture da kleše
i tada se đoka
rakije naloka
pa s pajtašem
na dobar dan
to je njemu
zamerila draga
zaigrala kolo
nasred raskrsnice
u ponoći
za meseca puna
meki đoka posle kupi
tovare sapuna
i jednoga ata
te joj dade
samo da ode
što dalje
iz njegove bare
gde pravi skulpture

The new 950-ton bridge would beat
down time dashing to classes cheat
ting vulnerability asper thick traffic
putting life at risk,
thus laudatory alternative
intending to offer Sweetwater
to last a lifetime would make fleet
(installed at Florida International University,
with eager pedestrians ready to greet
crossing grand opening,
where local dignitaries didst meet
viz Miami-Dade County
Saturday (March eleventh 2018)
witnessing ghastly collapsed
Thursday (March fifteenth 2018)
afternoon onto Southwest Eighth Street.
An unknown number
of fatalities surmised,
while several others
were hospitalized.
Prior to groundbreaking
with placement guised
of the attendant pomp
and circumstances exercised
setting cornerstone,
the projected
general estimation apprised
sans building costs totaled $14.2 million
and funded as part of a $19.4 million grant
from the US Department of Transportation.
The fact sheet boasted the sheer intensity
comparable to withstand strength of a
category 5 hurricane, and supposed to last
for more than 100 years.
Within the blink of an eye, no ifs ands,
nor abutments squared with ratiocination
earning civil engineers bragging rights,
which boastful, delightful, fanciful stead
fastness touted thwarting titanic tenable
taxing shock waves.
Now only a scattered pile (formerly comp
rising beams footings, and piers) of rein
forced concrete capped with a bent ele
ment defying hallelujahs, karaoke kudos,
and bobble headed nods,
now impish jinns keep leering, mocking,
and naysaying to fading echoing reverberations
leveled at the laughingstock of an architectural
(duff) feat. Further scrutiny will attempt to cap
chore structural weaknesses. Amidst snapped,
crackled, and popped strewn cables entwined girders
(whose premature destruction) will also warrant
any arresting tell tale signs of unusual stress.

"every unexpected change," the ******** continued to drip from her
plum painted cupid's bow
"is an opportunity for something
great," topped it off with a terminal patient smile.
I drew on the desk with a
pen that didn't have a point.
"No such thing as nice surprises,"
dragging it across the dade pine.

Gedagtes wat eenvoudig lig lief is
Kan helder maak
Koppe wat te slim swaar donker deurmekaar raas
Woorde wat moedig sag sappig is
Kan heel maak
Harte wat moedeloos af gebreek is blaas
Dade wat beleefd groots gaaf gelukkig is
Kan skeppend maak
Hande wat hopeloos toegevou honger staan staak
Drome wat goedhartig braaf kreatief is
Kan hemels moontlik maak
Oorkom toekoms wat donker verborge na vrees smaak
