habits.


look at how we summon the calm 
from our nerves,

piecing feel after displaced feel back 
to its rightful place. 

trying to breathe through our bones.  


- habits. / cigarette smoke.  

heart.

the narrative.


to be anger
bound
to be
unsettled
home
to feel
conditionally free
to live

(maybe)

to want.
(wanted)
and to stay wanting.

- the black narrative.

(even in 2015)

feels.


I feel so much these days.

So many things.

Certainty. Doubt. Like. Melancholy.

Each.

A few seconds.

Clock is ticking.

Late.

Excitement. 

Confusion.

Of grey clouds in the sky.

Lurking.

Sick To my stomach. Purple or green. Both actually.

Always rainbow though,

Throughout.

Sometimes calm.

Courageous. Here and there.

Politics. Pathetic too. Thanks to bad hair days and badder fashion ones. Thandile ­Babalwa Sunduza. Out - of the (banana’s) yellow.

But,
never love.
Well, not the kind that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand, anyway.

However,

there’s peace in my heart.

And patience. For days.

Enduring. What pain ?

Expectant.

Every now and then.

Free. God bless Uganda.

Thankful. Because, I am alive.

Breathing.

Still.

Blinking.


Feeling. Constantly feeling.

present.


the air 
still filling your lungs
the trees
standing tall 
as they bow before you.

when all of everything 
in its glory and its splendour
are here for you,
how can you not ?


-  the extant being.
