Closing On Reality Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

Closing On Reality



In the thick dust
the hawk’s eye closes:
its reality
is gone.

Mine, behind
a closed eye
lingers on.

I see the image
of the hawk
in the tree

it sits there
still

though dust
and hawk and tree
are gone

to be
of me
changed vividly
still sitting there
with hawk and dust and tree.
