Malotto Poem by Gert Strydom

Malotto



An old valiant packed past capacity
drives past hooting
to get children, dogs and goats
out of the dust road

with its stereo tape-deck
turned to full volume blasting
out a penny whistle tune
and while going round a corner

it only just misses
an orange bright star bus
with fluttering balloons
from which the bride and groom
hang out through windows
waving at pedestrians.
