Flowers on This Field
Yey!! 😀😀 I’m finally back after such a long sick leave, thanks to God and the prayer and encouragement of friends. For those who wondered why the sudden disappearance, I had malaria and a small worrying indention on my head. Following a checkup, I had to take anti-malarial drugs and other antibiotics, and keep offContinue reading “Flowers on This Field”
Abominable Love
Opiyo and his companions moved stealthily through the fruticose rain forest in search of Apondi. Instead of wearing their normal royal regarlia, they were barechest and tying animal skins around their groins to conceal their nudity. They were four and they continued to scour the thick forest in search of Apondi, the beautiful adolescent girlContinue reading “Abominable Love”

Revisiting “The Grab”
It is International women’s day and my friend Shobana Gomes reminds me that this poem would be befitting for this day. Women are such a wonderful and complex creation.

Against War, Against Timonism
