Lone Figure - For Joshanne Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

Lone Figure - For Joshanne



Where a lone figure strides
along the wide empty

rim of the sea a gull
holds the sun’s

shell
in its beak

from the sea’s womb
from the tide’s

broken tomb
a hermit crab crawls

into the dropped empty
shell of the sun

and with its huge claw
closes the door.
