Extract:
I. Papiermond
“I am a castaway, not a prisoner”
Die eiland het my tong geskeur.
Waar lê die taal vir soveel blou?
Hier is net vlakwater se kleur.
Dit is ons pa’s wat on shier hou.
II. Fragment I, II (An Affair Below)
Druk teëls in asuur olie
maak nat die papier, strek
dit oor die hout, monteer
hier vir ons ‘n swembad.
(onthou hoe ek op ‘n keer
verby een van jou lovers ry
voor die Langstraatbaddens,
handdoek oor fyn skouers.)
Een nag tussen wakker
en slaap wil ek bel, skree
dis jou ouer, jou pas streeps-
gewys daar onder die water.
IV. Kom op vir lig
“If we could dive to the wreck even now ...
we might save from it tools of the greatest utility.”
Deur Indigo dieptes, ‘n pêrel
lug teen adamsappelboom gehou,
Terug teug ek ‘n honderd soorte blou,
kleur die ademlose see se vel.
