Kobus Moolman

An aeroplane takes off

An aeroplane takes off

An aeroplane takes off
from the edge of his sleep.

His phone is off
because the battery is flat.

Inside his head
where his memories should be

a submarine sinks.
Then a polystyrene moon

rises over the rim of the apartments
surrounded by semen.
