Murithi Ikiara Poems
- 1. Lowly
I’ll sing a solitude
Amid the gnawing hunger-
I’ll sing.
I’ll sew this elegy
... - 2. Slave
I’m a drained oasis
Sitting at the heart of a desert
A lone ranger
In the great Amazon
... - 3. Death
Death,
I implore you,
I beseech you,
Hone your claws no more
... - 4. I
One day i will close this door
i will shut it willingly
i will not flinch
But like a wounded lion
... - 5. Let Me Go
When this love fades
When what bound us dissipates
When that laughter
Intends to birth disaster
... - 6. Wretched
Auctioneers of air
Devours of fairness
Ravenous bear
Tireless tillers
... - 7. Forfeiture
Were you a rose
I’d pick your scent
And eye tips of your blouse
And mine heart be content
...
