–Collaborative poem from Zimbabwean
Poets-
Norman Mwale [The PenPusher]
Stephen Mupoto [Ngugi Wamkiri]
Strains in the dark orbit,
Hyenas singsonging
their eldritch laughters,
That conjure no death of darkness.
They loaf about,
Clawing the moon’s face
That now bleeds barren tears,
As the foxes claw at the seam
Of darkness,
Death beckons in silence,
As predators chit-chat
Their evoking calls,
As to a feast of tamed prey.
The long moon still bleeds,
And portends death,
As it sticks to a sanguine orbit,
Where it dies still!
