Root Beings

Root Beings

 

And there it is …the root-being
 

“Looking at the scars of looting and mayhem…the loss of our treasure and our souls…”
(On the news -channel, eNCA)

 

Contemplate the nature

Of interconnected uprising

The emergent uprooted being

Squinting in the sun, seeing

 

It offers the gift of darkness

Quivering in the ochre-blue shadows

Swallowed by the scarred sun

The fire of vermillion gestating

 

Waiting

 

For the deep love of dawn to come
