Vry

Ek sal wegraak eendag -
uit jou lewe ontvoer.
Daar sal bespiegelinge wees
oor waar ek laaste was.
Jy sal hulle vertel
van die vlek aan my linkerarm.
Daar sal fotos van my
aan mure pryk
met 'n beloning vir die
wat my eerste kry.
Ek sal 'n lêer by die polisie hê,
mense sal jou bel
en sê dis ek.

Ek sal langsaan jou in die straat afstap
maar jy -
sal my nooit weer ken nie.

One day I will get lost –
removed from your life.
There will be no speculation
where I was last seen.
You will tell them
about the mark on my left arm.
Photos of me
will be stuck on walls
with a reward for the one
who finds me first.
I will have a file with the police,
people will phone you
and say it's me.


Right next to you, I'll walk down the street
but you –
will never know me again.
