Incident

Odour of sulphur and honey, !arch twigs lit from within with a pale gold flame.

Fur-white moths tremble in clots over a body

slumped on the asphalt in an ooze of black blood.

Houses gather their skirts about them, squat on their haunches

like Indian squaws, waiting.

More moths and more keep arriving, flutter up and down in circular motion. Each bas the dead man's face on.

The hunters' moon lifts free of the roof tops.

Sycamore seeds float screaming to the ground. Branches snap like gun shots. A jeep whirls into the square and soldiers leap out Before they reach the man, he is wafted high on a pillow of moths which hovers over

the armed ones' heads, rises, then sets off at speed for the stars. They watch it dwind1e to a swarm of gnats, to specks of dust, to an illusion in the mind's eye. Behind its windows each house consigns to memory this palpable blank in the pages of history.
