In Memory S. C Mthethwa
Makhosonke Dhlamini 1982 (Jabulani)
He disappeared when autumn sang the last hymn.
Trees cogitate in silent and poetry shall not express grief ;we shared shade while dismantle our problems
And
Marvelled at our metamorphosis , you poured chivasregal in a calabash
Our thoughts sailed upon endless seas ;punctuated by laughter which revive our being .
Oh!
may the tale be narrated to your seed
That no oxymoron
Nor euphemism and syntex can describe the scald tears of a poet
