Consuelo Roland Poems
Yonks ago,
On a beach in the land of sugar cane,
A girl
Wore a purple
...
How fast we went
My mother and I
- Merrily, merrily, merrily
Trundling along in our VW beetle
...
Ma chère Amélie
How brave you are!
I could not be that brave,
...
The best houses I have lived in
and loved in
and almost died in
are the houses that rise unbidden
...
The Best Poem Of Consuelo Roland
Polka Dot Bikini
Yonks ago,
On a beach in the land of sugar cane,
A girl
Wore a purple
Polka dot bikini
And eyed the sea
Like a matador might eye a bull.
Yonks ago,
On a beach in the land of sangomas,
A girl
Ran to the ocean's edge,
Long hair burning,
Blowing windward and wayward
In the pure blue sunshine.
Yonks ago,
On a beach in the land of ijuba beer,
A girl
Dived under,
The boys dived deeper,
Under the biggest waves
Never taking their eyes off her.
Yonks ago,
On a beach in Zululand,
A girl in a polka dot bikini
Walked by,
Wringing water from red hair,
The air around her aflame
With something I wanted.
