Poem
Ronelda Kamfer
BRUJAS
my child is into dark shit like her momwe idolize the evil queens
and I teach her that the good witch is
only a bad witch staying in a secure complex
me and her lie on the bed
and she seances
my dead mom she asks what my fear is
I smile and say
babygirl
Mommy is fearless

BRUJAS
my kind is into dark shitsoos haar ma
ons idolize die evil queens en
ek leer haar dat die
good witch
maar net ’n bad
witch is wat in ’n secure complex bly
ek en sy lê op die kooi
en sy séance my dooie ma
sy vra wat my fear is
ek smile en sê
babygirl
Mammie is fearless
