To Johannesburg, with love
(for Voldi and his love for opera)

    A flock of stars. Stars in her
    eyes. And so, I closed myself
    off to the outside world. The
    tired, miserable outside world.

And said this, that people have nothing to do with me

    and I have nothing to do with
    people but I fell in love with
the city and the city fell in love with me. Boots, jeans and all.

The pulsing sun lit up something inside

    of me. And I finally learned what it was to walk on the kingdom
    of dry land. To clasp that
 
tender prize of pure rain in my hands.
