Hello Molly. Hope you
are good. I am thinking of Valentine, of Men’s Conference… seems distant now,
Christmas holidays. Anyway, this week, I had the flu… plenty medication, lots
of sleep (daytime), restless sleep at night… FYI: I read somewhere that most
people die at night between 3am-4am (the devil’s hour) when the body is at its
weakest… suffice to say, I listened to AFCON through the night, plus some
music, past this hour. Anyway, life is never that serious, so, here goes some
light stuff:
Tomato Sauce
Childhood sunny, play
rainy
A tight brother, poverty
Him - uncle to the family
Our meals souped and soggy.
Reserved for Christmas
– Chapati
Like the Americans - their Turkey
Chips, soda, chicken – paradise
Would our bellies then be at peace.
In our dreaming, a
turn and a toss
Our imaginations at a loss
We then knew Money the Boss
When we dreamt of tomato sauce.
In my room alone, out
of luck
Wife ran away, for I am out of work
Full circle, supper - soup and duck
Tomato sauce, plenty - a belly pluck.
A Little Storm I Pray
A little storm I pray,
to be sent my way
To clean and freshen, unruly my day
Some sun later, to dance the folk fairy
The afternoon breeze, lows the cow dairy.
A little earthquake, I
earnestly inquire
My life shaken a bit, this I require
Sharp again – my arrows, I quiver
Persistent in labour, much I learn from the beaver.
The campaign for the launch of my books, ‘#20BobSanaa’
is still woefully inadequate. The launch budget is Kshs 100,000. So far, Kshs
300 has been raised… I still believe in miracles. To angels out there, we can
still make the launch happen end February 2024 via:
Buy Goods Till Number: 9080911, Gatere

Send Money: 0708 276 622, Mark Gatere
Plus, my anthology, ‘A Funeral Dress for
Nyasuguta’ is available at the Nuria Bookstore and you can get it via this

That’s all for now My Dearest Molly. Back
to rest to fully recover from this bad flu and get back my full voice.
Best regards,
Sant Mark
