Once near Rooi Els

When you move
alone, the line
of the coast

and the mountains
push up
against the sky.

Pull down
towards the sea
and the road

hooks around the bend
and the speed you travel
allows you to take

a look at the colour
of the sky
deep ocean blue

rocks: yellow, orange, brown
tumbling. Threading through
the landscape
