Poetry

Dancer’s Dilemma
You say I am worthless
I am an Inaga* man
A person who carries people
People with every sort of buttocks
Tongues, which smell
Of every conceivable odour

* Commercial motorcyclist

the perfume of the mad man
And the jankara* of pregnant
Mad women
Have given me a position.
That we are not equal
You are not a slave

Imagining the City: So there I sit in a Catch-22 situation – Remembering and Imagining Trauma in the District Six Museum, Sofie M. M. A. Geshier

They had built a cosmopolitan city, where artists and people from different countries and of different crafts, migrated to, lived, worked, and intermarried. In the memories of the people who had lived there, District Six was an ideal non-racial society. Then in 1966 under the new apartheid government, people were forcibly removed from their homes and moved into a racialized world so the government could claim the land for the whites.

It lay in her palm, looking as innocent as a miniscule piece of communion bread. She had discovered it minutes ago. It was in a transparent brown medicine container. It stood out, surrounded by other multi-colored multivitamin capsules and pink allergy tablets. She should not have looked. Thirty minutes was a long time to wait for someone, especially if you had nothing else to do.

“Wait for me in the apartment,” Oche had said over the telephone. “The gate man will let you in. He has a spare key. I will only be thirty minutes.”

Thirty minutes. She was used to waiting for him, but not like this. The first time she had waited was at his work place. He owned an up market French-style bistro that sat comfortably in the savvy commercial district of the island suburb. He invited her not long after they started having sex. The gesture had surprised her.

I walked down Orion Avenue
the cobblestone walkway
Were a work of art but none
that my questing heart could exalt
you would think it’s a beauty to behold
what beauty can a street possibly possess
if there are no women walking it…

It was Sunday after church and Tunde was excited. His parents had finally, after much begging and pleading, agreed to take him to his friend Tijani’s party once the service was over. He had made the point that Tijani’s home was only a five minute drive from Our Savior’s Anglican Church. His friend was from a Muslim home and was doing the unusual thing of hosting a birthday bash on a Sunday. Tunde’s mother had first objected.

“We can’t go straight from church to a Muslim house for a party,” she whispered to her husband. “How will that look? What if the meat has been prayed on by an Imam? Is that the right thing for us to do if we eat it?”

When the scrambling for truth is over

And God, suffering from the munchies,

Is eating travelers off the narrow road,

Let us meet at a market place like Facebook

Far from airless cloisters where

Zealots have turned zombies,

Mummified by martyrs and 

Stripped naked by saints

Nailed to metaphors made of ore.
