Doug Jacquier
Johannesburg
My host and his friends
scoff at our rugby team
and our cricket team
and our barbecues
as the smell of burning meat
from the braai
chokes the air
and the roaring flames
reflect from the compound’s razor wire.
Doug Jacquier‘s poems and stories have been published in Australia, the US, the UK, Canada, New Zealand and India, and he blogs at Six Crooked Highways.
