The Pink Moment
- Details
- Written December 2009
1321 on Hout Bay Harbour
A hand holds her wrist
Above bandaged coal-tar [1]
In the blush of love discovered.
1532 onto Lower Main Road
With arms engaged
As man and wife under confetti
In the blush of love now pledged.
2137 in the maternity corridor
With one and two others
As a child is born smeared in vernix
In the blush of love expressed.
1239 in a Heathrow hangar Amid boxes littered
Awaiting another’s luggage
In the blush of love that serves. [2]
0908 in a Calders’ suite
Where 40 roses arrive
As feet shake off Fish Hoek sand
In the blush of love matured.
1652 on the Ojai balcony
Waiting for the clouds to part
Inviting us to an unknown future
In the blush of love confirmed.
