Kwaheri, kwa nini?
Do I have to go?
Dreads spill over your cheeks
Sprawled across my chest
As I kiss your dark chocolate skin—sweet as Dawa
Kwaheri, kwa nini?
Do I have to go?
Pole pole
Our tongues intertwine
Our limbs entwined
Our chemistry, sublime
Kwaheri, kwa nini?
Do I have to go?
Sasa, Poa
Poa, Sana
Your tongue slips into mine
Its rhythm—divine
I’ll unravel you in your mother’s tongue
We just need… time
Kwaheri, kwa nini?
Do I have to go?
Alarms go off
The cleaner’s at the door
This isn’t enough
Nairobi, I need more
kwa nini? kwa nini?
Do I really have to go?
