An assembly of parts to make a whole,
Where in nought need be added, removed
Or adjusted..

Winking or blinking?
As the eye lied.

The well, like an old abandoned wife, now stood in contempt to the modern boreholes with their fancy hand pumps. Husband's favorite. Young, firm, and perky.  
The thick murky water no longer serves the purpose of drinking. The lid, more often than not, left lying idle against the outer wall. No one knew how deep she was. No one ever bothered for fear of the depth.
Excerpt ''afilu''

''Is it proper for the dog to stand in the same space as the tiger?,
We shall not hear the end of it.
Two hundred machetes, Two hundred spears are here gathered,
To war against the heavens.
It is the heavens that will over come them all.''

Oloun'yo incanted.

Excerpt ''afilu''

Those sixteen seater buses are hard enough to get comfortable in as it is without having  mother with an infant at her back on the row. Usually, you would want to lobby for the window side seat for better ventilation. She does not seem concerned though, hardly noticing the other two seat mates. The infant at her back, even less bothered. Not a sound or even a stir. Hard and unflinching as a rock, mother and child both. Oblivious to everything around them. They both could have been deaf and dumb for as much sound as they made.

The child at her back had been dead for six hours....

For what do trees have to complain about.
The consistency in bird droppings?
The dead, the size of his headstone?
Or his unfair share of worms.

Versions and versions of how I met your mother did I write.
Just because your potential mother kept changing.
Consider the last, the legitimate one.
All other editions are but drafts.

Much Love,
    Your (Future) father.
