Utenzi of Furaha.

Morning sidamo coffee mugs
adjust easily to sun jazz sets―
usually night insomnia would find
Western-world pinned television
Infomercials yawning to the cricket
croons on amplified microphones―

but no confinement or concept of time―
only rest
only furaha―

leaving the warmth of caffeinated
sidamo mute & the Swahilian
retreat breathing room for the
reconstruction of the scenic harmony
before the 5th day of Wahabu’s creation―

and how good it is.
how good it is;

Morning showers adjust inertly to
twilight mists that blanket the Maravi―
usually night fishermen rods sway
to unopened bahari eyelids
which would only loosen from strokes
of dusk’s water keen

but no necessity or delineation of time―
only rest
only furaha―

leaving dawn moisture handshaking
daylight rays & the Swahilian
heritage assembly lines to recreate
the gwaride route of nature
before Wahabu’s 5th day―

and how good it is.
how good it is;

alongside You.
