Poem
Loftus Marais
Night Film
a woman irons in front of a windowin her flat’s closed cube
battery lives, stooped, cooped
lamp light projects her onto the roof tiles
of the building opposite:
she’s ironing, enormously, gorgeously

’n vrou stryk voor ’n vensterin haar woonstelblokhok
batterylewens: nou gedruk, gebuk
lamplig projekteer haar teen die dakteëls
van die oorkantste gebou:
reusagtig pragtig stryk ’n vrou
