*for Auntie Faith, God rest her soul. 13-09-2013 Kilimani, Zanzibar* Your daughters, all four of them Your beautiful daughters All dressed the same, Tears streaming down their cheeks One by one, grabbing a handful of sand Emptying it over your grave. I was woken up at 3:17 am I was told the news, I thought of your daughters, all four of them Now without a mother. The soul is gone.

Your Daughters
