Dec '96 

                                                      For ......

Hekpoort

..... ------------ .....

I walked the bush

Swam angelic light

In your neighbour's bath

I walked the cave

Of bamboo mossies

In your imagination

I walked the kraal

Cracking roasted crabs

In your story spot.

I walked in dreams

Slept oxugenated full-moon

Between your orange trees.

I was stung

Temple-tingling aches

By your shower wasps.

....... ----------- ......

I shall walk again

On your virgin land

To return your truth

"History of tortine".

I shall walk again

On your inspiration

Into you forge

With my dream.
