"For Paul Celan (2001-5)"

"Before your late night face, passing
solitary
between
nights that reshaped me too,
something came to stand there
that was already with us once before, un-
moved by thought."
~ Paul Celan

"Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority."

The night of 19 July 1965, poet Ingrid Jonker (31) walked into the sea at Three Anchor Bay.
"My lyk lê uitgespoel in wier en gras op al die plekke waar ons eenmaal was..." (My body lies washed up in weeds & grass in all the places where we once were)
I found her grave at Woltemade Cemetery.

"One foot in the grave" became a reality when I visited a cemetery in Franschhoek to take photos and had to jump onto a grave to avoid being bitten by a cape cobra. As I jumped onto the grave my right leg sunk into the grave (up to my knee). It might have been shock, but I couldn't stop laughing.

J.M. Coetzee, writer and recipient of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature, died today according to Text Publishing, Australia. He was 84. Born in Cape Town (9 Feb. 1940), he moved to Australia in 2006. Of his many masterpieces "Disgrace" (1999) is the one I hold most dear. I'm glad he was born.
