ENERGY

We share holy fire

And tiger bright nights.

We recite poems

In the fields of our homelands.

We make love

In the graveyards of our ancestors.

We drink traditional liquor

In the parks of our neighbourhoods.

We hitchhike

In the dangerous cars of our country.

We sleep

In the strange beds of our women.

We share holy fire

In the tiger bright nights of our wild Africa.

Lee Richard Kirsten
