M Braimah Saaka Poet Free verse

For Ama George

I heard today
You were no longer
With us

My heart sunk
I had hoped one day
To see you again

Your brilliant smile
Your chuckle
Your calm exterior

My thoughts of you
Were always
On Sunday morning

Your walk by
At the Mission house
In Damongo

Always regal
Your tall neck
Your side glances

My sister
From another mother
What happened

I weep
As I write this
Who will weep with me
