Kit Mikayi

Kit Mikayi

The rocks at Kit Mikayi
Are rocks!
rocks upon rocks
They are rocks!
rocks on rocks
rocks big and small
finger-like
poking sky ward
Godward
begging for rain

The rocks at Kit Mikayi
are rocks
Tall
Proud
dignified
like the first wife...
Kingly
defiant
long lasting
like a mother's love
not jealous
like a co wife
just there
rocks rocky marking
the land of Seme
the land of strong men

The rocks at Kit Mikayi
You can't crush them
You can't eat them
You can't till them
You can't move them
You can't separate them
You can't You can't
You just can't
rocks on rocks
peeling,
reeling
bulgjng
pregnant
pushing aside,
greedy
rocks scattered
like desert sands
unquenching
