Notes About The Poem

They Laid Her There--

THEY LAID HER HERE---

Twas heated July summer morn;
Sometime in early dawn;
The death Angel came;
He laid her on the floor
       Laid her on the floor
Behind the door
Of 4809
Covered in self
No room left
       Laid dormant
They took her out of 21
NO breathing was she doing
Summer morn just before early dawn
In year 2016
      She laid dead, she laid dead.. In
chumba cha kuoga
She was found dead in the bathroom..
On the bathroom floor
Alionekana amekufa katika bafuni .. 
      Kwenye sakafu ya bafuni
the officals laid her out side in the yard
maafisa waliwaweka nje upande
Covered they did her soul
While awaiting coroner, police
Ruled appearance died of natural cause
      Covered in self
No room left
Laid dormant
Twas heated July summer morn;
Sometime in early dawn;
     The death Angel came
He laid her on the lawn outside on the ground
 A week later  at the funeral
They placed her coffinated body below the ground
Spirit rose her true-self gone on  into the arms of the Lord our God
      They laid her there?
