(for Annelize)
You are the beautiful one
with the valleys in your sunny eyes
at Paarl and Stellenbosch
and the mountain passes in your laughter
that meanders past Clifton
all along the coastal road
passing Simon's Town
with the bays in your arms
False Bay,
Gordon's Bay
and Betty's Bay
with the Pacific and Atlantic oceans on your lips
where I have lost all of this
and now are trying to find back.
