      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      A Night in the Life of the Poet - emmanuel mwangosi

      PASSED

      Something was certain

      He could not see it again

      The good day was gone

      Like flesh off the dry bone...

      AT DUSK

      I slept

      While desperate

      Penniless

      Jobless

      Homeless

      Hopeless...

      AT THE BEACH

      As I wish to take a wash

      As water splish - splash

      I rush and dash like cash

      Rum is warmly welcome

      Let me not just dream

      Let me really swim!

      They say I have nothing

      By comparing the beggar with the
