There goes the night
Mothupi Makwesha Jacob There goes the night Another day lay as unwilling As my yearning to keep writing To keep keeping sane Chanting to flickering candles Memorizing shooting stars As they catapult to ashes Here comes another night The day was but a remnant Of a night’s tale: a transient lullaby It is unsettling cries of sunset, Splattered nostalgically at The horizon, which paints The looming dusk as but A phrase of unlived moments It is easier to light up a dark room With laughter in times of hunger But it weighs hefty on the soul To smile in a room lit up with infidelity See, you could ingeniously harbour A devil to fight the need to defend Piety, and forsake spirituality To attain god’s forgetfulness Widget is loading comments...
