Natalia Molebatsi Poems

after the war,
what do we do
with the guns
and the machetes?
...

hello journey people hello
welcome to these pages
these are the stages on our journey
hello, goodbye.
...

i wish you whole
as words water a flower
beneath the yellow rays of yearnings
beyond the reach of growling pains
...

this heart is built around
string songs of tears and its
occasional joys and endearments
born to ‘boogey' beyond its melancholies
...

- hey music man
promise you will live a long
very long time
and when you die one day
...
