Job Ombati Poems

Few are the confusions
like that of a dog on a funeral day.
So many feet, so many sombre faces.
To bark or not.
...

He clutches the bottle firmly.
Sometimes when out of hand,
he caresses it.
Softly as he could maiden love.
...

SCAVENGER LOVE
Man scavenger.
Bird scavanger.
Animal scavanger.

MY FRIEND KYEVA F KYALO
Few strutted the academic landscape like did you.
Softly but indelible steps left
that years later your efforts
...

On bended knees I cometh.
Without mascara;
no pedicure
no manicure
...

My brother Robert
I mourn you my brother
Good to me you were during your day.
Now that night has come and you've retired;
...

We're old.
Grizzled, used, tired
Our vision strong but dimmed.
Many years of expectations, dreams,
...

It's too morning
And my bones creak in utter defiance.
My eyes the more evasive to light.
I won't wake up,
...

I have loved for nothing.
Visited markets and bought basketfuls of food,
for a stubborn heart.
Lengths and lengths of cloth,
...

You say I am slim and Sexy.
Drinkable.
Holdable.
But I despise you, you obstreperous fool!
...
