Recycling Angels
At the Environment Africa Recycling centre by Avondale Stream
a group of men make a whimsical array of things
out of aluminium cans
everything from sheets of brightly coloured flatted cans for roofing,
to lampshades, baobabs, geckos, giraffes, spiders and Christmas trees
Zimbabweans are never short of a plan
This year Robert has been making a range of imaginative Christmas tree decorations
There is something touchingly beautiful
about his recycled angels
the curse of our consumerism
reappearing as the messengers, warriors, guardians
a re-visitation of the wise ones
kitted out in the latest colours
Robert asked me to invite you to drop by
if any of you in Harare are on a hunt for Christmas tree decorations…
