Kay Aguko Poems

Kidney like burnt offering
Lungs racing to gasp air
Heart pacing to pump
Like a broken water pump
...

Acrid, pungent smell wafts through the air
Moaning, wailing the sweet melodies of the hour
Boom! Boom! The sounding of the evening music
Here we are to experience you go down our dry throats
...

Making a fool out the brightest
A zombie state out of the wisest
A weakling out of the bravest
You are a weakling
...

Unwinding through the serene hills of Limuru
Invited by the lash green vegetation
Waving, as I ride through the pitch black
Roads of town.
...

My beauty lies in me being as dark as berries
Even though am told light is beautiful
Isn't dark and shiny sumptuously beautiful?
Am I short and attractive?
...

My love is not patient with me
I came to his house a novice
Not a master of the pot and cooking stick
He has replaced me with the snatch waisted missy
...
