Analysis of NO CONTEST, NO!

Lindokuhle Langa 1995 (gauteng)



I become something original among the poets.
are you going to speaking of what they used to say and close quotes?
when the great storms are revealed by the cartoons.
nothing disturbing unparticular might rue,
no room for mistakes lessons came without a clue...

hello blue,
Is it true that we all in you?
when I assemble them in one assembly,
winter and summer, breeze.
Atlantic and pacific, view.
left and right written, we.
love and loving, me.
highs and lows, within.
sons and daughters of same kind again by birth.
substitute one another again and again...
then paint no pain plain, I say.
