There are..

"THERE ARE TEARS WHICH PIERCE THROUGH THE EARTH AND RISE AS STARS IN OTHER SKIES.

I WONDER WHO HAS WEPT OUR STARS?"

All she wanted….

All she wanted

was find a place to stretch her bones

A place to lengthen her smiles

and spread her hair

A place where her legs could walk

without cutting and bruising

A place unchained

She was born out of ocean breath.

I reminded her; 

‘Stop pouring so much of yourself

into hearts that have no room for themselves

Do not thin yourself

Be vast

You do not bring the ocean to a river’

— you are oceanic, Tapiwa Mugabe

here and elsewhere...

I like people who dream or talk to themselves interminably; I like them, for they are double.

They are here and elsewhere.

— Albert Camus
