About two years ago I started personifying my depression. It looks like a dementor (Harry Potter) & I play a game with myself when I can feel myself getting dragged into the quicksand. I ask myself where my depression is & how big is it. It helps me gauge where I am.
Sometimes my depression is outside sitting on the steps like a small child. Sometimes my depression is sitting at the dining room table watching me while I work. Sometimes my depression is in the audience at the gig. Sometimes my depression is a 7ft giant, wrapped all around me.

Re ba Mashile a Segodi sa Malekane
Mokibane wa monesa morale
Ngwana wa lepulana pula ga a tshabe
Ke matshaba tladi serutha ka mosela
Ntheng ya thaba magale a serorobele
Re Matshilwane a shibe
A shila naka la moshidi
Kamoso a shila tlhogo tsa batho
Rena ba maswika maramaga
... Ekego mae a tshilwane
At the beginning of this year I did not know sithakazelo sa Mashile. Imagine a whole poet who doesn’t know their own sereto? The power of what it does to people when their ancestral lineage is being called out in this part of the world is undeniable.
