wild dog

The Eastern Cape is wild dog-

Hunting in packs bound by

Dogged dark infringed isolation

Hills not quite tall enough for mountains

Crack wind through narrow passes

Thin grass grows on shrub thickened

Patches of wonder

Gown under sullen sun

Such is the wonder of the intransient Eastern Cape

And so it shall go on....

As the sun shines

On dull grass

And the sky narrows

As sharply as a closed eye

Seeking shadows

In the undergrowth

Whatever way you see it

wild dogs start a kill

at the anus
