MYLENSANDI

by   Pierre du Toit

 

This is a photographic site, although words too have a place. The photographs have some focus on South Africa and its people, and the often naked humanity of that complex, ever hopeful, ever surprising rainbow nation. It also sees other people, and nature, and things, from where-ever in this nanosecond of infinite time and space they share this coincidence of co-existence with one another, with each other, and with me, the wide-eyed photographer and wordsmith.

It is in our universal insignificance that we discover our individual significance

 

 

Photographer

I feel the promise stirring
deep within my darkness
smell the blood
saliva, hunger in my gut
I stalk
my eyes are claws
I hold

a killer’s poise.....

I strike
a layer off my quarries’ skin a shard from strangers’ eyes

back home, I bear them from the deep black womb
and mould them, shape them, nurse them as I whisper

"brother…sister…mother…

mirror?"
