Litnet

Childhood

A pitiless integrity,
Sandwiches jammed with sand on an Eastern Cape beach
Visions of soft, weeping rain drenching fynbos
A lonely, cold krantz echoing baboon and jackal 
A candle, deep into the frost-filled night,
A reverence of relentless, rightful love
Determined by admissible, magical tenure.
