Ostrich Shell : verse

my ostrich shell painted with

springbok and entangled daisies

blowing in icy wind

I drink yolk and albuminous
whisperings along rushing waves

we are soft dreams where

a fishing boat stood
buildings now deserted

¥

storehouse freshly painted in ochre
fishing nets drawn alleluia
dreams float with the sardines
drinking coke we celebrate catch
wind skips along Hout Bay shore
daisies clap wild petals yellow
shells smashed we eat boiled yolk
