I’m back here again
Where I left the chemical on the wall
After pitching a tent on the highway sideway
I’m virtually unknown and a legacy is restored
Taps now preside over boreholes
And houses have replaced tents
As the red cross stands on a hill
Side by side religious buildings of Italian origin
Obscured life manifests behind a school
Revealing a lost civilization of a bye gone era
High terrain stands all around
Bisected only by a highway and river
Supported vegetation withstands the simmering heat
As the sun manufacturers anthracite
For handpicking purposes close by……
Poem By Kelvin Mpofu ( Zimbabwe)
