by Christopher Kudyahakudadirwe

put me in the midst of the savanna
let my eyes roam the veldt
to the cacophony of the wind
let my ears make out monotonous harmony.
the smell of drying brown grass
let it tickle my nostrils snuffly
put a rock under my bottom and
let it be Friday afternoon. Let me
listen to Marechera retching,
"Give loneliness a platform
and its speech will be poetry"*
then, there, I'm home.

* Marechera, D (1992) Cemetry Of Mind.
