A man sits in the dusk light, beyond a dust road
with a tray of naartjies and a small battery powered radio
listens for news, weather
I cannot reach him
we are caught between mirror image and memory
far away
but in this hour before the desert stars gather
I believe we call to each other
across the dust gathering land between us.
Oh Heidi - so perfect. Radio broadcast as dialogue in which you don't have to respond.
