Luhya Woman

Benard Githogori (1975- ) Audacious Smile Luhya Woman
Kenya, Africa


Egyptian worlds
melted into
Kenyan worlds
(pre-empted by a splash of Uganda) 
in my long ago yesterdays

for a time
we tinkered with British ways
and linked with their
Christian soul

and still link

but it is Kenya who became
my foster mother
our foster mother

and for that blessing
I give you
an audacious smile
