Love Poem: African Heat

African Heat

The African Heat 
*************************




************************
Seyon felt a silent pain;
Almost agony 
People feel at the knowledge that
They are dispensable after all
She had also felt
The shame of a child who sees a grown - up
Suddenly caught in the act of chasing
A butterfly over velds and roads.
Wel, dit is 'n spreekwoord;
                     The African heat 
Does things to women,
Miskien vreemde dinge
Strange things.
