I can remember
the susurrations
of snakey, knee-high
love grass,
breezed into the
effortless uniformity
I now glimpse in
West Pier starlings
on lucky autumn days.
The evocative
scent and shade
of thatch, the lightness
of a single sheet.
A mattress on the floor.
The sea:
a riot somewhere
behind hutted hills,
through the truthful smoke
of wood fires.

Very familiar Roy
Very familiar Roy, life in Africa ancient as the hills a paradise. What does Zithulele mean?
All the best! Tom Brown
