aftercare/devotion

by Mercy Thokozane Minah

Moments of Wonder

 The night is a blueish-purple hue. A bird’s eye view of the Cereus Villa’s courtyard shows the title “Cereus Villa” in circular text surrounding the courtyard’s grassy centre. There is a lantern lit community altar which is home to a bowl of water, a machete, white flowers, coffee, red envelopes, and offerings of ground provision.

Around the border starting from the top working clockwise words read: "There is no one / I am me I am you / without the other / I am body I am mind." In the centre are two bright yellow bodies without visible heads embracing each other, legs wrapped around one another. There i a gleaming sun with rays of light shining out in the space between where their heads would be.
