Frangrants of my imagination

Bakani Dube 1983 (Lobatse)



Pieces, small little pieces.
With me, in my mind.
Microcystal of time.
Ticking away like time.

Mirrored backward.
Fragments scented with dust.
Shinning blue in the desert.
Thirsty like winters rain.

Blowing like flickers of lightning.
Sometimes they come back.
The wooden toys.
The fake glare.
Am here now.
Thats all that matters.
