Home Poem by Gert Strydom

Home



You made changes to the house,
did again paint it on the in and outside,
hanged new curtains and lace-curtains,
and the roof-tiles are another colour.

With new gutters and down-pipes
and new floor-tiles on which I walk
everything is so perfectly beautiful,
at a Pierneef-painting I am speechless

and while the rain pours down outside we are alone.
