The sun's bleak face sniggers up high Through the icy filters of the Highveld sky The sphere folded into a chilly blue With crystal membranes on the morning dew Block and cement endure cold saturation That gives every house here a frozen foundation Caravan on bricks, the bare, bare branches Of an iceberg garden's forfeited chances How long does it last, what would you say Or did this dry season come to stay? Cool at dusk, chilly at night as Nigel and Balfour wait on the light For marrow and vein and pipe to thaw And the shivering in bodies to briefly withdraw The reefs were traded for power plant blasts But those scorching fires could never last Headgear topple, mineshafts collapse Under Main Reef Road the tunnels are traps How long does it last, what would you say Or did this dry season come to stay? How long does it last, what would you say Or did this dry season come to stay? Perhaps clarity in crass, resolve in cold When simple answers can no longer hold The bleak resignation of the winter skies Wraps your shoulders like expedient lies How long does it last, what would you say Or did this dry season come to stay? How long does it last, what would you say Or did this dry season come to stay?
