Kefentse Sathekge Poems

A month has gone.
All but memories seem to fade.
She would hold me.
Her affirming presence has
...

Tramped down, part of
Pathway now.
Fences are down.
Soldiers come in as
...

should not look upon you with a lustful eye?
Forbidden kisses that fills your womb
Impregnated abruptly by my lips
...

When one was away
The other had his cow
When he returned
He killed the double agent
...

The rooibos tea bag you always
Leave in the tea cup
How it would drive me to the wall
If dirty dishes could kill
...

Just as leaves
are intimately attached
to the little stalks on branches
As much as they are also dependant
...

Consider my erect pride,
and cast it down.
Let me open up
and crumble like Jericho walls.
...

I have nothing to tell…

Your womb is infected.
Life in you feels neglected.
...

You shall know me...

Beyond wedding vows...
The sealing kiss.
...
