Spatial by Kimutai Kemboi Allan
Embedded Files
Always a space
Out there in the world
A large thicketed field
Overgrown with weeds
A mind blank
Writers block
Waiting for new words.
Always a space
To sin
Soil our existence
With trivialities
Dancing upon a fire of bones
Our brothers dead
We have their wealth.
Always a space
To lie in the meadow
Tufts of grass in our mouths
Bovine adventures
Sans milk
Our udders are dry
Dead!
