Loftus Marais

Night Film

a woman irons in front of a window
in 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

Nagfilm

Nagfilm

’n vrou stryk voor ’n venster
in haar woonstelblokhok
batterylewens: nou gedruk, gebuk

lamplig projekteer haar teen die dakteëls
van die oorkantste gebou:
reusagtig pragtig stryk ’n vrou
Close

Night Film

a woman irons in front of a window
in 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

Night Film

a woman irons in front of a window
in 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
