Alfred's Wife Poem by mariechantal tuyisabe

Ruth had been sweeping
When she abruptly heard something bewailing,
An ocean howl
Her open-naked back yard's ground
That wore green sprouts around
Was left half unfinished
Because to each direction of her house
She went on dancing un aware what to do next

The sun had already revealed its morning beauty
And it was around seven Am that next
She led her kids to a main road
The main road was crowded
The main road was decorated
By flour and suitcases
When she reached it.

The olimpic ocean wails kept on
And it was that time she wished
She could have waited him home
It was that time she knew the word 'complying'
It was that time the olimpic ocean's
Out cry made the kids lie there
To be awakened in a new world
And it was that time she too
Was to be seen in a new world
Where no human errors will disrupt meek ones
