about

Third in the cycle inspired by the Elements and our relationship to them

lyrics

trickle-tickle rivulets bubble through the backyards
soaking up the cardboard slices
eddying round shiny wrappers
pooling into instant creeks
swarming swamps of new-laid parasites
fizzing with the desire to grow and swell and bite and
feast on passing feet
urgent churning whirlpools babble past the cracking drains
sweeping forth our detrimental influential
excremental effluent
flushed pink by amorous sweet-smelling detergents
purified bleach-brooks ripple into
triumphant alien algae blooms until we find
amidst this mighty ever-restless acrid
putrid petrol-driven stagnant sea
there is not a drop to drink

we gather where the dust scatters
where determined duiweltjies lacerate our flaking skin
we swirl in dancing torrents that recall and recreate
our ocean origins
our own salty animal soup
the flowing crystals dripping daily through our cells
the anointing cataracts of conscience
springing forth from ancient ancestral orgasms

and in an instant we are present to
the snowflakes of a perfect gratitude
the glimmer of mermaids
the water-wisdom of our long-forgotten new-found tribes
catching the thunder-waves on our
sap-filled surfboards from the source of thought

hearing us, feeling us, dancing with us
the world’s sea-womb rejoices in a
wild and kelp-hairy game of chase and be-chased
her angry sickle-shark cave-carving subsides
into lagoons where dolphins laugh and flamingoes dream
into smooth spring tides
that carry trusting sailors to their futures
into soft and supple orchard-gifts
and freshly-ripened paddy-fields

until we dive into Bacchus-vats of
bottled and fermented whale-joy
until we splash into clear streaming-mirrors
witnessing and soaking and
wringing out our souls
before darting forth in homeopathic doses
channelling our fishy-wishes for the rainbow-juice that joins
in trickle-tickle rivulets
of fluid unstoppable desire
