Collaborative Poem by:
Stephen Mupoto [Ngugi Wamkiri]

Did you know,
That we knew nothing until we
Had this intercourse?
This intercourse with time,
On the very braces of deathly
Nuptials,
Where these vows are a phalanx
Of the very cords of a sad
Discourse.
The fear that thrives,
And lumber like a drunkard in a
Terrain of darkness and death,
Smoking on the deathly pipe of
Sanguine tobacco,
That pilfers with the smoke
Of malignancy?
Yes, l did
Do you mean this carnal knowledge
Where the brownian movement of
This congesting soot is prevalent,
Clumbers to pollute the zygote
Of promise
Which suffer silently in this none
Creviced womb
Where life’s ventricle clots with
Dusty teary vows
Whose deviated course colapses into
This molten caldera
And hope wiggles in lava like a metal
Rod.
In this coition of time
Where the unborn sun is fertilized by
This dross of defiled promise?
