You are a work of he(art)
Twice today
I have lost myself to space
The gaping wounds of valleys
The hematite hills
That breathe their dust upon me
And felt
That had you been here
I could have held you within me
Beyond blue
Beyond cloud
Further still
My kiss unstuck
Searches the steady incline of your mouth
Nestling like a swallow
Sipping at your stem
Reaching further still
The horizon pulls the sun from slumber
And wakes the fields with soft caresses
How easily the landscape learns your name
How tirelessly it searches you out
Beyond fields of corn
Beyond the rushing river
Beyond the moist cool forest
This deliciously dipped desire
That knows only the unknowing
The undoing
The undone.
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.
