David Kapp, Belthorn Estate
Time
A musician
(and a sangoma too)
releases an album
at a time
of lockdown
He can’t perform
for crowds
in concerts
to launch
(he talks time
he talks of time
in these challenging
and changed times)
A conductor
of a classical bent
keeps busy
in the absence
of an orchestra
(he has books
the internet
and the space
in which to function)
(elsewhere we see
a city breaking down
structures people want to call their homes)
The times
they are
changing
and have
changed
they tick away
these moments
that make up
a dull day
(to misquote
some hoary-old
from
another time)
Moments
in time
Ticking
until
The next
time
