Harmattan

HARMATTAN. The early morning breeze, That makes us freeze, On our bed covered with blankets, As if we lay inside a casket, Putting on stockings that are anklets, Being reluctant to wake up, And not considering to dress up, For the day to start off. Wet garments easily dehydrated, As if it was stiffened, Glasses covered with dust, Wind raising dust, As strong as elephant tusk, Fires warming in the dusk, Ignited by the dry coconut husk.
