It’s a hazy Friday afternoon
End of a long fasting and prayer
Under mango trees in the bush
Hurrying home ahead of my parents
To break my fast before my fast breaks me
Having filled my belly, my legs ache for a walk
In the stretches of vast Savannah grasslands
I stroll in the woods, narrowly missing deadly snakes
The belt of mountains worn around the waist of our town
Evokes captivating, mysterious tales heard in childhood
About an old woman who lived beyond the mountain
And came to sell at our market on market days
And returned home in the form of an antelope
Listening from somewhere in the dark jungle
Gossip of town folks about her origins
