In Her Own Words
About Her
Ek dra al jare water aan
met hande wat nooit leeg wil wees nie—
maar my emmers,
lek sagkens onder die gewig van gee.
Ek gooi en gooi
tot my skouers swaar word van hoop,
tot my hart soos ʼn oop kraan bly drup
vir mense wat nooit hul hande oop hou nie.
Liefde het uit my geloop
deur krake wat ek self nie wou sien nie,
deur gate wat ander gelos het
en ek bly vul het met my eie asem.
Vandag staan ek stil.
Vandag kyk ek na my hande—
moeg, maar nog vol.
En ek kies anders:
nie meer om te mors waar dit verdwyn nie,
nie meer om te smeek vir houvas nie.
Vandag skink ek wyser—
in ʼn kruik wat nie breek onder eerlikheid nie,
in ʼn kruik wat my liefde kan dra
sonder om my leeg te tap.
Want liefde hoort nie te verdwyn nie,
dit hoort te bly,
te rus,
te groei.
En ek—
ek is uiteindelik gereed
om nie meer te verloor wat ek gee nie.
About Her Ideal Match
Laat my toe om jou kruik te vul,
sonder dat jy my hande vol water wegklap
wanneer jy ’n kleurvoller son op die horison sien—
Laat my vul,
en bly,
en oor en oor gee—
nie vir die oomblik se glans nie,
maar vir die dors wat jy nog nie eers
in jouself herken het nie.
