WHITE ANT
More donkerbreek dagbreek ligveters skaapkop in die pot
op die rakke sit n rot
teen die vensters is vertraagde vingers
swart gordyne van wolke
op die plankvloere
die verlede is kerswas
op die tafel die skoorsteen
het n bokbaard in die reen
hys n bosloper n nagloper
langs die pondokolielamp
slaan hy n dampie
hys n bosloper n nagloper
hys n bosloper n nagloper
hy verskyn soms uit die moeras
soos n komeet
sy oog is skeel
hys n bosloper n nagloper

NEW APPLES
Meneer sits in the mining house
counting out his gold
Boesman and Lena on their way to Mafeking
In Gauteng it flows at Blood River there is no blood
Tokoloshe drives past in his Chevrolet
And the Ha Die Da's sing goodbye Dolly Grey
on the Cape Flats someone is lost
He cut off his thumb with a knife
on the day that they found the Gold
Anthills and thorn trees all the way to the border
We meet in ten years again when it will all be over
give my love to the mountain
And the wild doves on the tin roofs
and the way you walk in the sunshine
Meneer walks out to the garden
Where the yellow apples fall
On the sea the ship turns back but he does not notice
The apples of his soul and he can never eat them
Go east go west go south to find the land of the Turks
and the wild doves on the tin roofs
and the way you walk in the sunshine
and the wild doves on the tin roofs and the way you walk in the sunshine

ENDE DES HERBSTES
Ich sehe seit einer Zeit,
wie alles sich verwandelt.
Etwas steht auf und handelt
und tötet und tut Leid.
Von Mal zu Mal sind all
die Gärten nicht dieselben;
von den gilbenden zu der gelben
langsamen Verfall:
wie war der Weg mir weit.
Jetzt bin ich bei den leeren und schaue durch alle Alleen.
Fast bis zu den fernen Meeren
kann ich den ernsten schweren
verwehrenden Himmel sehn.

TWO BLACK SHEEP
Shake out you're coat and let's go
its woolliness will warm us
Were lucky that were not like them
Lets use our lazy legs
we don't have to say anything
as we cant talk anyway
lets go outside
and play it out
have you seen the light electrocute the sky
come switch on you're eyes switch on you're eyes!
dip you're feet into the green
growing stronger letting it go
playing under wet heavens
they will not touch me
even in a million years
lay their scars on my heart
in the deepest sea
even in a million years
not even in a million years
lets go home
the dog may come
our woolliness will warm us
were lucky that were not like them

WAJUNGA RED-DOG
Wajunga red-dog
now wearing a masters hat
driving a government car
doing 200 on the bar
By playing township jazz he was stronger than a gun
the sparrows perched his hat
the young girls flashed they're teeth
But now that he is free
oh where's the honest king
he thought himself to be

EARTH BREATHING SUN
You sleep and softly melts the day
this earth breathing sun
leaves me with cracked lips
and make me follow
the way to the water pit
you sleep and softly melts the day
so mouth watering an open tide

SANDBAR
Her eyes like a velo:
in a small boat small boat floats
her eyes are covered with jade
small boat floats like a land thorn
wild geese swoop to the sandbar geese
line out to the autumn
like a land thorn small boat floats:
wild geese swoop to the sandbar
geese alight outward with the water.

GEISTERTEILCHEN
This place is a dream
Only a sleeper considers it real
Then death comes like dawn
and you wake up laughing
at what you thought was you're grief
Everything cruel and unconscious
done in the illusion of the present world
All that mean laughing
all the quick sexual wanting
those torn coats of Joseph
they change into powerful wolves
that you must face.
And this groggy time we live
this is what its like:
A man goes to sleep in the town
where he's always lived, and he dreams he's living
in another town.
In the dream, he doesn't remember
the town he's sleeping in his bed in. He believes
the reality of the dream town.
The world is that kind of sleep.
The dust of many crumbled cities
settles over us like a forgetful doze,
but we are older than those cities.
We began
as a mineral. We emerged into plant life
and into the animal state, and then into being human,
and always we have forgotten our former states,
except in early spring when we slightly recall
being green
again.

SUNFLOWER SUTRA
So he was the man with the pipe
and when he came back from travelling,
He always brought you a chewing gum
with a silver aeroplane on it.
You could play in the bath,
on a Saturday evening.
So you had the key for the door and you knew you wouldn't see them before, till late in the night when you were lying
in you're bed and you slept tight.
He was the man with the pipe,
She was the woman with the key.
And in the morning and in the morning
you saw them only when they were gone
And in the evening and in the evening
you saw them only when they were gone.

The stream wells up you're way
Take you're crown and put it on
Grab you're walking stick
And fuckoff out of here
Fuckoff out of here
