Dansende Ster

"one must still have chaos in oneself

to be able to give birth to a dancing star"

Goethe

Waar die dae

tot nagte opkrul

verby die oeroue

beendere van tyd

het jou beeld

verbygegly

vir altyd by my

in hierdie swart

rivier van sterre.

Mandi Axmann, 1994

I love the opening quote of this poem, Mands. Don't understand the rest, but your poetry is always moving and thought-ptovoking, so I'm sure it's worth reading. I'm just now reading a book on Chaos Theory... Berns
