Makiwane Road

Photobucket

on the road to makiwane
grows thoughts
many upheavals of
dreams
in larceny
quick and sharp incisions
each bereaving the other
a country rode to democracy
once
nights swept over this road
in disharmony of conjugal skies
wild grass in abandon
seeks a river
a white morning
seems at time
standing at its edge

nightscapes in
luminous rivers
eyes

peacock skies
a horizon burnt

Mdantsane Shebeen

Photobucket

in a strangerlight
frequenting the lament
blues and greens stare in an orb
glass, skin and breath
touch quite ruthlessly
seizing proximity
darkness is a sworn
revelation
myths enter an orbit
of unsung desires

Poem and Watercolor by Amitabh Mitra
