GROWING UP THE PAST RUNS DEEP

Growing up in the village..
days before electricity arrived
when i used a kerosin lamp..
as i browsed through volumes..
volumes of literature..

Till my eyes would turn dry..

Perhaps like a lightning
bolt of clear out of the blue
rigor mortis (tenon and
three decades hence)
two thousand fifty nine if you
count from January 13th 2019, adieu

attest that day 9 months I did brew
in wound (of the...

On Mother's Day.
That Sabbath Day, I put flame to eight candles and knelt down to pray.

During that spiritual and...

rushes now the spill of feet
a lunar festival right nto moonlight
skirts flaring, hats flipping
as silhouettes swagger with desire
bosoms advancing retracting
against tunes from guitars and tambourine

slay this fiesta with quickening of heels
an extravaganza which shrieks
in the...

I am a strong proponent of good public education
But restrictions on classroom teachers is unsettling,
Much of what I have to say is purely speculation
And, I wouldn’t want to be accused of meddling,

My experience teaching in...

Where the paradisiacal angels reside.
A myriad of creatures, ebony and betide
A dinkum dissolute and a discreet divine,
A degree of dexterity, a denizen decline

Amidst the mahatmas and zeitgeist calls,
An indweller quests for lyricism...

Yes, I choose violence,
I chose to make chaos with my words,
I choose to use this weapon to fight my battles,
I choose this because it is the language oppressors understand. 

I chose violence,

It is unfathomable, I say.
Chance, the village repeater, says, “UnFAM-IT-BLE!” and smiles at me. 
Louder than I was, but with more feeling.
I cringe, pre-seeing how this village meeting might unfold.
“Incomprehensible!” I announce, watching for eye...

Village



Village,
Dwellings of brick and stone,
Eclectic styles with greener grass.
Cobblestones and glass windows,
Hidden truths behind closed doors.

Shrewd abstract thinker,
Disdains those considered inferior.
Petitions order and obedience,
Capitalizes coins to promote dignity.

Butcher, 
Proponent of meat,
Cuts and slices remorseless.
Shamelessly...

Formed in shapes sizes of dust and rocks, and heavy boulders;
Midst costly gems and stones and jewels, you have august worth,
Electricals and opticals intertwine your folders...!
