A carpet formed of chips of ice has turned the lawn to slush.
It lies and melts: a sudden show of concentrated force
which vanishes in minutes. Vacant is the after-hush
until the blackbird’s interrupted tune resumes its course.
‘…a lovely day in Cape Town. On your right
Is Table Mountain, and below us here
A view of Robben Island in the bay.’
