THE MOON THAT GOD MADE

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

(For Charles Sama, the microphone gadfly)


They all left early this morning
Taking with them axle, blanket and cat
They left no forwarding address
But they left with a smile.

I`ve just heard the neighbour whispering to my wife
That they were spotted in Biwongbane yesterday pursuing a rat
I wonder what happened to the head dress
Will they go as far as the Nile?
