Mosaïek liefde

Maia Elizabeth Nel 2006 (Cape Town)

Free verse
ek wil jou rofweg hê
ongeraak onopgesmuk
wys vir my jou spelfoute
en ek sal my eie woorde daarmee vervang
sonder leestekens
aaneenlopend soos jou gedagtes

sonder ritme

onderstebo met tekeninge wat jou hand nie kon keer
donker lyne wat deur bloei
en vertel van seerkry
presies hoe dit is
met kras plat taal

jou sinneloosheid is al wat ek verstaan

gee vir my
net jou hart
