verblind

wat sal gebeur as ek 
al my metafore in 
die smeltkroes gooi?

een goudrooi stuk gedig

borrel en stoom 
soos kokende lawa

met my tong breek ek 

die keramiek-dop oop
sodat die blinke gietsels
selfs die son sal verblind

* * *

what will happen if i throw
all my metaphors in
the crucible?

one piece of golden-red poetry
bubble and steam
like boiling lava

with my tongue i break
the ceramic shell
so that the shining castlings
will blind even the sun
