Original Submission by Limari Vorster

Reisiger

My verlange na die huis

so teer

soos die wit gestreepte grys

Hobbelrug, 'n kameel se blou

lê die Here se berg en doring

soos n legkaart oopgevou

My smal gedagtes

op ooghoogte teen

tak verhang

Terwyl die toppunt skuil

onder wolkombers

in die horison se ligteblou.

-Limari Vorster
