“My unshaded skin.
Snarled and marked of a scoundrel.
Scorned and conned.
Birds sing in a fair sun,
whistles of seas that used to be foreign.
My unshaven skin,
whispers of owls at night still sing old rivers.
Ribs rubbed and punched still sores.
Mistakes of songs and words that still linger over me.
Marred and murdered death still murmurs.”
― Tapiwanaishe Pamacheche

“Petunias

The mind filled, littered and polluted by black petunias
The horror of the naked decaying sun over our heads
Graves crumbling, hills erecting, mountains sinking
The stinking, smelling melodious melodies

Yarrows growing in my heart
Rage on my body
Anger on my soul
Darkness of all the hate
Manifesting

Xyris the abandoned beauty
Eyes dogged and damned!”
― Tapiwanaishe Pamacheche, Depth of colour
