![]() -we had her- For our Sister Nyaradzo 'Nya' Mupfeki who left the family circleA Poem by Baldwin Mupfeki
Of vivid memories in Bindura,
1993 l still cherish, The then, young: In 'glass' shoes, white top, black trousers, With hair combed, stretched, knotted, backwards With vibrant, lify face To time, which has always, always parted us! Nev'r of it, there wasn't, if any Of lines I do pen, Ones I can't erase To put a lid, Ones that keep recurring! Of hazy memories in Kwekwe;1993/1994, crossing railroad, near Stewarts and Loyds On giant shoulders of time, Our firmest; our finest! 2010, you 'called' frequently, I, at the University- Rejoicing, yes! For thwarting 'space and time' Sadly for 'both', to rebounce To claim, to invade! To shut us, forever more, In agony, in despair- Time, a withered branch, dividing from the fresh roots of eternity! Shall weep all times For all know We had her! (RIP) © 2015 Baldwin Mupfeki |
