Lara Kirsten: on the kitchen table she lies herself down
http://laraafrika.blogspot.com/2015/07/on-kitchen-table-she-lies-herself-down.html
Pianist and performance poet. Friday, 31 July 2015. On the kitchen table she lies herself down. On the kitchen table she lies. Chopping her layered flesh up. As ferociously as she does onions. Slicing her squirming limbs. As keenly as she does cauliflower. Her tongue rolls off the bloodied surface. It has come undone. It has lost a hold of her body. For the first time standing loose. And on its own. A bit frightened in its sudden independence. This loquacious piece of flesh. Feels a tingle of something.

Lara Kirsten: The Cross Roads III
http://laraafrika.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-cross-roads-iii.html
Pianist and performance poet. Sunday, 17 November 2013. The Cross Roads III. With tears in his eyes the Cave-Dweller looks at the Cross Roads. And bemoans his woeful state "I was hoping to set off on a journey. To the Greener Lands, yet here I am forever stuck at the Crossing of. The Roads. What will become." The Anarchist chips in "Plant Green. Seeds under your feet and it will rise up into Green Shoots and you'll. Have your Green Lands.". I don't want you hanging around serving up unwelcome advice!

http://laraafrika.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-cross-roads-vii.html
Pianist and performance poet. Tuesday, 28 July 2015. The Cross Roads VII. In a maelstrom of blankets and dust, curses and glares,. The Cave-Dweller is decidedly on the path of war. In great insanity he is searching around his gloomy cave for. His left-hand glove. He claims that he has worn it only a day ago. The Anarchist whispers in the ear of the Prehistoric Postal Agent. 8220;What is all this fuss about a threadbare glove? Why don’t you go to. The Other Lands and get him a new pair? Tones never heard ...
