A Man is Dying for a Piece of Bread
for Adonis Musati, Zimbabwean asylum seeker
A man is lying dead on a busy street
in carefree cape town where
the crumbs of excess elude him
far from home and alone
an ordinary young man
queues endlessly for an ordinary life
the price of a piece of bread beyond him
and so he eats his own shadow
consumes the last twinkle in his eye
swallows handfuls of poisonous hope
his teeth crack biting the pavement
the world passes by except those
who know the taste of a shadow
and stop to mourn him
