Echoes
The chirp of the bird
The twinkling of stars
The clapping of trees
The clanging of bells
The hollow of the caves
The shimmering of satin

The dancing of little feet
The plink plink of banjo

Were empty as I trudged through Shimawaa.
The river screamed placid as I contemplated on the thunderous silence
Even the air told a thousand tales
The drip drip of the Madu's borehole echoed neglect
Moving closer, heeding nature’s call,
i became one with the waters.
As the tides rose in tandem to the beats of my heart,
I wondered
What happened in Shimawaa?
