...Sisyphus’ Lament
I took each hard punch
And swallowed each raw pill.
But you said it wasn’t a fair fight
And I agree,
But you didn’t watch
My tears each night,
No, they weren’t
For yo...

NUMBERS
...Let's speak of numbers.
I’m a Kenyan 2.0,
With an ID to prove.
I own the code—254,
Been here since I was 0.
Gen Z did awaken,
Learning the art in math—
The topic on tax,
And the story of Za...

The Cold of Fear
...Cold is the tittering of befitted feet
Cold is the meagre meanders of falling fractals
Cold is the twinge of bitter blues upon reeling retreats

It's not me
Some being destroying everything inside

But morning comes again

Son of Sleep, Father of Thunder
...Weeping walls of heralded hallows,
Sweetless seam of darkening shadows,
Seldom son of sickening honour,
Shall bring, shall bring, this darkening hour.

Love Affair

This tree
Her man
Where sowed thy seed today?
Loving yet hating
A Vail of wall
Shields of a deceiver
Transparent filtering glass
This blot

Trapped again 'tween times when thirds are three in number.
I sense a grimace gurgle in these halls of boned wall,
The aching w...

To Whom does this come
...When bodies turn to ash and float in the wind
When whatever makes you, you follows
Floating.
You left your body, a hollow shell
Not you anymore
Just bones.
We couldn’t get your wife to leave yo...

A man, a whisper against the turbulent waves of culture,
Each wave a metaphor, each...
