Sawubona
literally translated to mean
‘i see you’
following with the eye
the stream
filling mind with water
with this in mind
as a form of greeting
may we never move past each other
without some form of acknowledgment

live (on prime time television)
“dubula lenja!”
splattering
all over the lens,
SABC news crew left bewildered, his words were so violent that they hurt
delivered with such a ferocity
that they alone felt like the crime.
As the words left his mouth,
it was in the heat of this moment
that armed robber had not noticed
the camera still rolling.

Madala
dlala madala
whiskey breath
cheering on, watching
blow by blow
rose of soweto
out and blooming
in six directions of boxing
burnout
hotstix mabuza
don laka
super nova
tapping shoes of madala
blomer brown blazer
vintage cressida
life iskorokoro
behind the steering wheel
and cruising
