The Earth is strong, though;. She can take it,. Blooming again next month. The students, too, (although. Only children) can take it.

Bending the pages of these poems,. I try to absorb their passions,. I write about love,. Spitting in the eyes of greatness.

Mbio za ukingoni: December 2013

http://mbio-za-ukingoni.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 4 December 2013. A labour of love and dirt. Growing a garden is a dance of chance and defiance. That sharpens your patience. Or proves that you have none. You defy nature; it edifies you. A language is sustained;. An eloquence made of dust and tears. Growing a garden is a study in inelegance. There are no neat conclusions;. No easy pickings. You work through a tangle. Of plants you have no name for. They speak back to you. In tongues of green and brown. And sometimes in the colour of death.
