Poem by Abdilatif Abdalla
And the sun shown upon her writings
And there was beauty in it
This and that and those and there and then
It was not the words you spoke that told the lie
Wewe si mkenya sisi tumeamvua
A hole is a wall and not a whole
I have the wisdom of a snake that climbs a tree and yet has no limbs
Over shadowed, underpaid, sidesteped and backtabbed
Why no?
I am not a poet
