Old Poems III

There and back
Tired and alone on a mysterious machine. Entering dissonance’s quarry at Manzini. Petrol and a robbed tomb at Bigbend. Then the many hills of the Zulu, each its own apprehension—the bike fails slowly. Durbs sinks into the haze, old friends and remorse; a distant father emerges. On the way back I meet my dead self several times.
