Limpopo by Abel Phiri

The winding rivers 
have thrust me on callous banks
of merciless nature 
of no familiar  men
nor land
no colour
Just bleak
and dark
and silent
and archaic.

of freeways
penis enlargement ads in public
of skyscrapers
I long for  
home.

Till we meet
again
in a democratic home
the winding rivers
shushed
raging relentless
and calm
she waits.
