SELF-CONDEMNATION

Do not drown me eternally

In the bile of your inner guilt

Before you know my pain

Just before you turn the page

Get to read every chapter in my open book

For as  much as you blame yourself

Thence you will discover 

That am no saint either

Behind this composed visage

Is a tale never told

A story concealed in the depth of my being

My innocence is as much

As the breadth of your guilt.

I WILL NOT LET THEM FORGET YOUR NAME

I will go to the village pool There where the echo is loudest And on that hallowed serenity I will scream Call out your names in rising decibels I will remind them of who you were Through song and dance The village maidens might as well ululate And in their painful wails all may decipher They will trample on the red earth with their bare feet And the copper rings on their legs will ring Their tears like a river will flow  The village elders with their backs arched with age Will join in the fray even if hesitantly Fighting away the tears of a man The ones that they held back since you left Sobbing together in unison Our tears flowing into the still waters Mixing our pain and our source of livelihood To form a lasting memory I will not let them forget your name.

CARDIAC STRINGS

Every time I took the sheep out to the fields It was both out of responsibility and out of unblemished affection for the bleating of the lambs was the backdrop to our love sessions When our hearts were intertwined like the soft branches of the olopito weed coiled together in pain, through hard times and in need When I look back and remember, your smile lights up my own Sometimes I shed a tear too and feel it flow down For you For us For love I still wish I could pick you the maasai love grass Like I used to do in April while they were in full bloom Or lay down by the Siyapei river Feel your sharp shy gasps of breathe cut through the country air These beautiful memories are my cardiac strings  the motivation I need for my heart to beat I still chuckle every moment that memory train crosses my mind Those childhood memories that we left behind Yet they remain engraved in my soul in letters of gold pure, naive and gloriously untold
