Atmospheric Spirits (for Nuruddin Farah)
In my hometown, the dead
Still exact revenge
From the grave.
The receptacles of the dead
Are the living dead
Who already straddle
Two worlds.
Do the parched remains of a scuttled idea
Refurbish a tale mangled by time
And reduced to ashes?
Let cinders tell our story.
