our tongues unfold to the sky; to a father who is in heaven, to take whatever comes through, bread crumbs or rooibos tea in chalice cups. In the distance birds loiter on old Toyota vans, brown beaks, serenades rolling off their dry tongues. They sing of you, you who took a path to the river to learn the origin of water.
