Fafa: Cardiac Desire (For: Fafali M. Keketsor: a poem for your birthday.)



When the CHIMURENGA commenced
We leapt into            battleDance
Dancing our primacy birthDance
In the                  liberationDance

DeathDance begets BirthDance

It is then           that we
Can sleep neck to neck
Our souls corresponding to this common call
Into intimate caves’ cozy corners:

For tomorrow…
     Tomorrow holds our garnished dreams
Of infant fantasies

So go…
Go into the pathways of our dreams
And capture our imagination
Not the broken winged nightingale
That cannot sojourn across skies

But remember:
DeathDance begets BirthDance
