LENTE IN JOHANNESBURG
Ferdi Greyling
Oor die koppies, uit die noorde,
waai 'n droë wind op die stad.
Later, na die donderweer,
vee die reën oor die huise se sinkdakke.
In die agterplaas hang die kristal
van die stil oggend
om die groen boom.
Die voëls sing gaatjies in die stilte.
Op die sypaadjie
voor die verkeer
is my liefde
blou in die jakarandabome.

(jacaranda trees have translucent light purple-
blue sprays of flowers coming out early in
the spring before any leaves appear. There
is usually a blue carpet of the dropped blooms
on the ground. South Africans living outside
South Africa have been known to time their
visits to South Africa to coincide with the
blooming of the jacaranda trees, usually in
October.)
