Talk to the Peach Tree by Sipho Sepamla,

Let’s talk to the swallows visiting us in summer

ask how it is in other countries

Let’s talk to the afternoon shadow

ask how the day has been so far

Let’s raise our pets to our level

ask them what they don’t know of us

words have lost meaning

like all notations they’ve been misused

most people will admit

a whining woman can overstate her case

Talk to the paralysing heat in the air

inquire how long the mercilessness will last

Let’s pick out items from the rubbish heap

ask how the stench is like down there

Let’s talk to the peach tree

find out how it feels to be in the ground

Let’s talk to the moon going down

ask if it isn’t enough eyeing what’s been going on

come on

let’s talk to the devil himself

it’s about time
