    The kwaito playlist is playing on the balcony and my hands are full of soil from the herb pot. It was a Thursday night that smelled like jasmine and exhaustion.

    My flatmate plays a track by Moses Taiwa Molelekwa every time she opens the fridge and calls her friend's playlist "the good one." I tell her it is not, but she does not care. She has never cared. That is fine.

    The programme said 'no portraits without permission' but I kept taking them anyway because they told me.

    The balcony smells like cilantro and thyme but I am missing someone who should know this smell. It does not matter anymore, sis.

    I found a program from 1985 in a box of my gran’s things. It was full of names and faces I didn’t know until I held them in my hands. She died before she could tell me what it meant to remember her.

    My phone is full of notifications from galleries and I do not answer them. Sometimes a message just says sis.

    The programme fell open on my lapel. It had her dead brother's face. I stared at it for an hour.

    the artist brought a bag of dried lotus root on opening night. the cat ate it while they were talking about their "next move"

    the opening was last night. a critic from another city asked about the title. i said nothing.

    the artist brought a ladder yesterday but the wall was too high. the painter said the painting wouldn't fit under the ceiling fan anyway

    swiped left because i'm already sharing my apartment with two people and a plant named after an indie rock band 🫠
