After seeing you off
The thoughts of the three hours that had passed
Lingered on vividly on mind
I could almost see your lips shaping into that smile
The smile you paraded the first night we met
The aroma of black coffee stuck on the strands of my dread locks
I took you with me to Kororo,
One of the villages by the sea in Zanzibar
Here I learnt to dance kidumbaki
How they shook their waists fascinated me
Their upper bodies remained motionless
In awe I sat there marveling at how all ages engaged in this dance
They told me, kidumbaki is in their blood
Even 3 year olds know how to dance
As I learnt the dance I imagined you being the man on my behind
I felt your hands on my waist
With each twist your drew closer
And we got down together in slow motion
Our waists became twins, riding on the same rhythm
I almost felt your heavy breath on my left shoulder
As my back eased on your *****
I danced with you in spirit
