In a night without rain

I hear a bell ring
ring ring 

through the fragrance 

of the evening

in the light in the morning

the washing smells fresh

there’s no turning back

you are gone

with your song

and I’ll look up 

to the sun

Dit was nou in die Alonnisos-agterkamer toe ek my nou verbeel het ek hoor 'n klokkie lui in die nag toe ek wakker geword het.
