Dos cervezas por favor in De K’ffe,
Cold bite of the first beer refreshes.
Una mas and workday fades to dull,
The night feels bright and hopeful,
The Palitos de pollo satisfies hunger.
Conversation flows to Cepas de Altura,
Three bottles later the stories repeat,
Groundhog day of interesting lives,
With eternal friendship in every bottle.
Six corks line up like truth bullets,
In an aggression of arguments,
Maybe he has just said too much,
Friendship of an unremembered hug,
Next day sorry and failings forgotten.

i used to think nothing is bitter about coffee
until
you leave and take that thought

Omulungi wange sembera
Sembera wanno Wendi tubalumye
Sembera onkwateko,twekwateko
Nga tuli ffembi,nnyumilwa nnyo
Mu bulamu bwange oli kirungo,nga emmele n'omunnyo
Nze mmele,gwe mmunnyo
Nga ka-sukaali ne chai
Bali baleke,emitima ggyabwe jjajula obukyaayi
Tebakunjagaliza,bagala kukukwabula
Baleke bamale ebiseela
Nga ffe eno twennyumilwa.
