6-Dec - First draft of poems written at the stations, along the morning paths.
___________________________________________________________
Noon at the Apartheid Museum
I walk through a country's soul;
there are voices
images
news;
there is pain--
unbearable pain
and it is borne
carried
worn
and only at the end
is there justice
triumph
peace.
Reconciliation is not easy
it is not fast
it is not soon
but it comes;
it comes
like a rain
that starts with a few
drops on a face
then like tears
washing
a flood
of beginning.
Dedicated to Nelson Mandela, 2018-2013,
who died last night and inspires anew
14 Nov 13 and 6 Dec 13
