[Diary Notes]
Nici is on her way back from Timbavati Game
Reserve, first went to Mbombelo - a name that
sings, in the province of Mpumalanga, another
singing name; her dad watching her progress
On his navigation tracker, every kilometre clear
she sent so many pictures of wild dogs & their
terrible teeth, in welcome I covered her bed in
new sheets, astounded to discover - she had
Covered her electric blanket with another thick
blanket & the fitted sheet had to be fitted over
everything: what an impossible task, her room
resembles Aladdin’s cave filled with everything
From perfume to computers to sand-filled flasks
from her travels; what a delight to have the little
Madame home again - ordering us to behave
while taking charge - laughing us into delight
