Abstract
Nobathembu lifts her hand and waves at her neighbour. She is watering spinach in her garden
with a jug from a bucket. At age sixty-nine, her beauty shines. The sun is high on the echoes of
Nyanga village – echoes of barking, the neighing of nearby donkeys, a truck against a slope.
Two butterflies mate in her thorn tree. In their hearts the story begins. Their wings brighten and
in their own time they disappear, following their peculiar rhythms.
