Yvonne Rautenbach Biography

Wandering man dreams of a place
with no demands yet no disgrace
with nice clean sheets, a fragrant pillow,
Wills that bend around like willow
...

Shining black moon
Thrilled with teeth
Come to our shores
Of gold and grief
...

Beloved tools unstirred
They are strangers
Brushes, pencils, pens
Erased from my picture
...

The Ballad of Mary and Chappie


She was wandering whitehaired clutching her lead
...

Faces bow In days unknowing
Gaze upon a virgin sheet
Smileys in a snowstorm glowing
Painting lips which never meet
...
