Fall of the BaobabA
-
For Ken Walibora WaliaulaB
-
Wednesday morning and wild wails of your weary withering last Friday whack usC
Better days are promised and premised on morningsD
Why did this end with your crashE
The smell of death scares us to silenceF
The sound of it screeches in our earsG
You've died at a time of deathH
-
How soon you leave our scribesI
How fast our screensJ
How quick our storiesK
-
You towered with teachingsD
Inscribed in essays and playsL
Crafted Kiswahili into a collosal constructM
Nuanced are your novelsN
Sharp and splendid your short storiesK
You live in your autobiographyO
Which happily you leave for biographyO
-
A giant you have fallenP
Birds of the air we're crestfallenP
