a summer drunk sky
laying his head on Gogo
the first of two suns
to colour her lips darker
to kiss her and ask for more
a summer drunk sky
once reflected in dad’s eyes
cradles umama
through decades of loneliness
colours her laughter sunlit
a summer drunk sky
colours my heart bright yellow
heart remains sanguine
believes love belongs to her
basks in his admiration.
Sibulelo Manamatela is a great lover of text; whether it be that of a novel, play or even music lyrics. She finds it apt to express herself and her narrative in poetry.
