  • Secrets?

    Khulisa invites our secrets
    My defences are sawn off
    I have no secrets to keep.

    Khulisa invites our secrets
    I wonder what safe space
    There is for vulnerability?

    Khulisa invites our secrets
    I call friends to do a test run.

    I’m not here laying blame!

    Khulisa invites our secrets
    I’m a woman, a mountain
    An ant & I’m proud to be.

    Khulisa invites our secrets
    Are mission statements
    Protective enough?

    Khulisa invites our secrets
    Out in the open to play
    Who mends our wounds?

    Khulisa invites our secrets
    ‘If you decide to keep Secrets

    ills will surely follow!’

    Khulisa invites our secrets
    I want to tell it as it is
    For this I’m woman enough

    Khulisa invites our secrets
    I will tell the truth if at last
    And still sit with my pain.

    Khulisa invites our secrets
    Can this safe space resist ‘Black & white’
    Traditions so deep and steeped?

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
