Your melody For Siphiwe ka Ngwenya

H e y! darkbright poetman sugarman rainman
your melody
pounds the maize and shakes the pot

your melody
bounces on a shock wave
wakes up a battlement
knocks on a lockdoor
hums through a goldchink
blows down a chaingang
taps in a bluesbeat
drums on a rainpipe

your melody
spins by a liftshaft
calls from a highrise to denizens of hillbrow

melody to melody
turning memory to harmony
tuning words of liberty
tender torrentials
hot explosions of the soul
slow lullabies of love
