Himba Colour Perception

On the radio someone from Dulux

Is explaining how we are new to blue,

How people from northern Namibia

Have no word for it.

This must be because they've never lain on hot sand

And stared up at eternity

Or down into your mad eyes.

Ghazal

Spilt wine

Seeps into the soil.

Spent lust

Seeps into the soil.

Let blood

Seeps into the soil.

Salt tears

Seep into the soil.

Beneath the wilting plant

Love seeps into the soil.
