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
