futile (translation from afrikaans)

157 44 52
                                    

see words hurting

a virgin page     white

sharply crippled     making no sense

but like breathing     a need

at the time





arrange letters in a neat row     no lines

see yours in mock hello     again





and nearby

silence complains every day

what to do with this

load that awaits every morning

to turn into heaviness sometimes

other times

light as a mood





flounder through the day    

faithful to thoughts that

accuse with so much renewed

force tomorrow
