Grief- in two languages

Verdriet

verdriet is,
ja,
soos ‘n eensame dood
in ’n ravyn,
maar iets erger,
dit duur langer,
en is minder vrolik.

Grief

grief is a little pig-tailed thing,
skipping and hopping,
but creeping up behind you,
smiling at your white throat,
your pulsing blood
already a halo
above its pug-nosed
head.
