we talk together.
others natter in your ear.
safe within silence.
Haikus
waste management
big solid belly.
a child is tied to my waist.
cut the apron strings.
blossoming heart
south africa born.
blood red soil toiled for peace.
grow blossoming heart.
african berries
green berries popping.
burning turning brown with smoke.
africa tastes good.
mourning morning
the morning birds chirp.
their song is quieter now.
mourning becomes them.
turn to hate
grass can’t grow when shorn.
might as well burn to the ground.
turn hope into hate.
