Ingrid Jonker – Selected Poems

THE CHILD WHO WAS SHOT DEAD BY SOLDIERS IN NYANGA
I REPEAT YOU
ESCAPE
DAISIES IN NAMAQUALAND (1963)
PREGNANT WOMAN
I AM WITH THOSE
LITTLE GRAIN OF SAND
BITTER-BERRY DAYBREAK
YOU HAVE TRICKED ME
HUSH NOW, THE DARKLING MAN


I REPEAT YOU

I repeat you
Without beginning or end,
I repeat your body.
The day has a thin shadow
and the night yellow crosses
the landscape without regard
and the people a row candles
while I repeat you
with my breasts
that reforms the hollows of your hands
