But I have to leave
(A Poem)
by Obinna Chilekezi
~
A fine Sunday morning
A bird and his mate at my window
Singing songs of love together
This country is
Full of pretty feathers
And aviary songs,
I love her
But the taxi’s outside
Waiting, and I have to leave
These songs, these feathers and her tears
(Serrakunda, 28/09/18)
