This is for you
This is time cut loose charging to infinity
This is rain on a tin roof beating out the syllables of your name
These things will speak to you
They have no choice
It will be so
This is for you
This is my heart knot
The bleeding is done
Siphoned off, clamped
This is not a love poem
You cannot be loved
By me
This is for you
This is the eulogy
The grand epiphany
The Demi-gods have fallen
Chaos in the streets
This is the conquering hand of my revolution
Complete.
About Me
- Starfish Woman
- I have just turned thirty and completed my MA degree in Drama and Performance Studies. My passion is writing and performing and over the last few years I have been developing my skills as a playwright. My first play COMING UP ROSES was invited to the Hilton National Arts Festival and my second play REMEMBERING YOU LIKE SOMETHING I'D FORGOTTEN was developed in collaboration with British based New Writing Theatre Company WEAVER HUGHES ENSEMBLE, and received favourable reviews at the Grahamstown National Arts Festival 2007/2008. I am passionate about South African Theatre and the magical,mystical,mythical power of words and am trying to carve a niche for myself in this competitive, challenging and exciting field. I am inspired by universal themes of love, loss and memory which I have explored in my work thus far. I have lectured in Scriptwriting and Acting and taught drama at pre-school and primary level. I hope to write and perform more of my own work in the future.
