About Me

My photo
Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa
I am a white African. Contradiction in terms? I think not. Sometimes my blog will be serious; sometimes sad; sometimes irreverent; sometimes witty; always my truth simply written.

Ambush

sun sets
the blue ablaze
as predators eye snacks
at african cocktail party.
crowded around the muddied waterhole
revellers intuit too late -
whirling in fear, they flee
straight into death.
sun sets
