Wonderful to see Pravasan Pillay has received his copy of Somewhere else (published by Graffiti Kolkata), I telephoned God (cassette produced by Sloow Tapes in Belgium) and of course Kobus Moolman's He Said// She Said, published by Dye Hard Press and beautifully laid out and designed by Jenny Kellerman Pillay.
( Nope ... the SA Post Office still ain't working -- I posted these from London.)
HE PLEADED IGNORANCE
He did not know what the sky was made of.
He did not know what fire tasted like.
He did not know how far away from earth the truth was.
He did not know how long a man could survive without any covering over his body. Such as skin.
He did not know the current market value of love.
He did not know the lengths a man would go in order to find deception.
He did not know where it all came from.
Then he came up out of the water.
Then he found that he could still breathe.
Even though it was air.
- Kobus Moolman
