Vertigo

The CNA bookshop in Pietermaritzburg,
is a tall, narrow, three-sided tower,
and in my day the roof was accessible,
a study in height indeed, a lesson
in the acquisition of acrophobia.

On that high, tiny, and unbounded space,
I was an ant on the head of a pin,
raised in frozen fear above the streets below.
