Familiar whine in my ear
You settle on my forearm
Prepare to pierce my skin with your proboscis
I raise my hand to strike
--Wait--!
What if I let you complete the cycle?
You might feed the songbird
Who cheers my day.
Your larvae might feed the minnow
Who feeds the fingerling
Who feeds the pike
Who feeds me.
You might be a meal
For the brown bat
Whose guano fertilizes
Tomatoes for my salad.
--SMACK NOT--!
Not today. ... wewe si mbu kweli, bali chungu kilichojaa maono ya mahusiano baina ya wanadamu, Nitakusitiri!!
Ahsante kwa kuwa nasi, uzidi kutupatia nasaba zako kuhusiana na maisha yetu kama wanajamii. Hongera Sana Mbu!!
Leading poem by: Deborah Frontiera.
