Visualization with Table Mountain
A perfect human,
lithe, subtle, fast and strong
with skin the red of
heart-of-flame,
old nova flickering.
Light from this one is hot like blood,
hair spun fine gold,
smile, white hot.
Another, perfectly formed,
lithe, skilful, swift and strong.
with skin the blue of
midsummer sky
flecked with moving clouds;
deep as ocean, warm as breath,
hair of lapis lazuli,
teeth, white cumulus.
Each stands higher than Table Mountain.
Their nakedness fills the horizon.
Above the houses, ringed by tall stone,
their bodies touch face to face.
Interwoven they dance
in the full
sun.
