KIAMA

With our feet dangling
dangerously by the water of the Lolwe
and Heineken takes its rightful toll
on our creative faculties

we shall sit  unstill with Kiama
and others not before the court
and there,
gazing into the patient waters of Lolwe
dare to imaginate new possibilities

and the weakened Nyanza sun
sensing our impatience with lightness
shall give way
- albeit reluctantly -
to exciting ways of the dark night
Kisuma!
