Only approximately last weekend I bumped into someone
With brown skins shining just like yours
Coffee colour with milk chocolate bar
Hau! Intombi ya kwa-Kenqu, I thought
It was her laugh, and dry dead walrus humour,
That gave it all away
Thank God! I almost said hi, but
It was not you
Only approximately last weekend I bumped into someone
At Campus Square in a dress and ‘creche’ boots just like yours
No familiar giggle after a witty comment, snide English-like remark
Those nonchalant deep side lovely hissing pavement phrases missing
Those you might miss if you don’t look hard enough, Miss.
Again, no guffaws definitely not you.
Only approximately last weekend I bumped into someone
At Kitchener’s directly after a throat wetter from that your Orbit now
She drank dark Savannah, talking to her ancestors on the Milky Way all night
By the way, it was her incessant conversations to self
Drink… the wrong colour sani!
Therefore, jonga!
It couldn't have been you, Sana.
Kante!
It makes sense now, Amanda
Happiest day of your earthliness
Jah Bless, on this your EarthDay.
Happy Birthday.
