Your country, in faraway Johannesburg, is a haunted land filled with the proverbial thirst. The measures of longing. Of dying to belong to feast and the imperative. Every broken family is filled with cracks in their system. Their lungs overflowing with flame like a fireplace in a mansion. I don’t know whether this shoreline will still be here in a decade.

I cannot comprehend how she moves in the world now yet I still see the beauty in the spell of her eyes. I’ve loved her, my sister (who lives in faraway Johannesburg now), from afar my entire life. I see and hear everything in this doctor’s waiting room. The receptionist with her open, friendly smile when she comes to check my sugar. I never wanted to be a poet. Instead, it chose me. Maturity comes with letting go. Learning how to fly and then with having no expectations you will find wealth there. A wealth of spirituality, knowledge, prosperity within you.
