Afternoon clouds are building
Highveld thunderstorm coming
We are doing handstand competitions
One judge on the stoep
Ready, steady go
Three humble contestants
Trying, falling
One does a longer balancing act
And wins, victory for a shouting moment
Then falling, grazing a chin on the static lawn
Listening for the birdcall
That tells the children
Go inside
Walk away, quickly
Lightning will strike
