Looking out the window
Seeing tomorrow's ntama sweeps the skies
Like the royal child's kite of butterfly colors
... O could that really be ?
That the clothe she is trying hard to weave today may reach up to the
heavens
And fetching the admiration of the lighting God
Whose clouds of silver stool it will cover...
"Kai !"
Yet the ghost of yesterday still
Still rides in her mind
Looking out the window
Wide eyes
Narrowed eyes
Closed eyes
Unconscious mind...
Dumsor brain!
And
And o
Yes
Beautiful
Lovely
I want this
I am going for that
Mine…
All mine!
I belong
I believe...
Not again Agh!
