Poetry- KEEP OFF THE GRASS
By: Oswald Mbuyieseni Mtshali
The grass is a green mat
trimmed with gladioli
red like flames in a furnace.
The park bench, hallowed,Ā
holds the loiterer listeningĀ
to the chant of the fountain
showering holy water on a congregation
of Pigeons.
Then madam walks her Pekinese
bathed and powdered and perfumed.
He sniffs at the face of the 'Keep off' sign
with a nose as cold as frozen fish
and salutes it with a hind paw
leaving it weeping in anger and shame.Ā
