POETRY
Kobus Moolman
University of the Western Cape, South Africa. jmoolman@uwc.ac.za
(for Adam Small 1936-2016)
Black mountain silence.
Broken land
without breath.
Three thin white trees.
A woman with a rock on her back
where her baby used to be.
*
Bare river panting.
Steep sky
without air.
Three thin yellow dogs.
A man with a rusted spade
where his hand used to be.
*
Old words undefeated.
Old songs
without any rest.
Three thin blue chimes.
A child with a torch in its mouth
where the long night used to be.
