Bloekomboom
Op ‘n vlakte buite Malmesbury,
staan ‘n Bloekomboom soos Scarlet O’Hara teen ‘n bult ,
uitheemse Vivienne Lee ritsel in die bries haar hare,
die kontoere se hale vlei die focal point posisie
in die grootliks vertikale komposisie van die raam.
Agter haar drom donderwolke saam,
sy wag vir die swartland se flash photography,
vir die reen se applous,
vir die was van haar colour co-ordinated bas
en haar juweellose takke,
vir die afspoel van die mure in haar kieliebakke.
