Late Afternoon As You Walk Poem by Gert Strydom

Late Afternoon As You Walk



Late afternoon as you walk
on the meandering footpaths
on the slopes above Cape Town
the smell of pine needles

of blooming proteas lingers on the air,
while beneath you the city stretches out
with its suburbs becoming grey

in the distance, with the sea ever blue
touching the horizon
while the dusk eventually falls.
