Vignettes of a South African Township called Mdantsane

Daytime Mdantsane

Photobucket


daytime drags its feet
reeling under a broken sun
mdantsane moves
on its streets and paths
in shacks and houses
sharing secret truce with
an emaciated river sky
last night tumbled
onto a today
not quite understanding its reason
of another existence.
