The Years
Kigango or Mijikenda grave-post at the Malindi Museum
The YearsThey are writing things
In my mind
Drawing on my face
Etching shapes
on my body
The years,
are doing things
to me
Chipping off
my innocence
They are rubbing
cynicism
into my thoughts
Doping
my crystal clear view
Hm-mm,
They have brought in
all manner of people
into my life
Some jolly, some gooey
The years,
are doing things
To me
I have my hands full
What the years have done!
