Kuku ble kuku, kuku ble kuku
It is morning, and fresh birds' songs
Twitting around that cold early morn
The birds twit and sing, singing and twitting
...

I have come to behold you
and sing of your dazzling waterness
just at the point of the meeting
of the Gambian and Atlantic
...

The day crawls to break
As drops of dew scatter
Everywhere with mist
Cold, yet Cockerel struggling to crow
...

This dawn again
yes, the day ought to have broken
by now, for it is pass six 0'clock
dark traps everywhere
...

...

I, just as Moses, brushes with the glory of God
In this new daybreak encounter

A new dawn
...

Smooth as a new born baby
and fresh as the first rain of the year

so shall our lives be at dawn
...

Come, you seeeeeee …..
Look, look at that black dove
Sitting elegantly, majestic
At the tip of that greeny tree
...

Come, you seeeeeee …..
Look, look at that black dove
Sitting elegantly, majestic
At the tip of that greeny tree
...

sparks the lightning:
hard! Hark!
the breathing space after
will come out poetry, the
...

Just as a stolen moment
Me and you in this chat
After yearsby and time rebirth
The falcon ‘as come to the falconer
...

after that long flight
the eagle and its former nest
beacons each other once more …
...

Weaning under the scorching sun
Oily, dim, through the misty panes
And thick dark light
Drowning her, slowly killings in the milieu -
...

Come, come into the light
See, see the doves
Some white doves on sunshine padding
Their shadows sparkle on
...

The flowerily card arrived
With lipstick mark, stains
Telegraphing your roly-poly
Arousing thought, shared thoughts
...

...

and there, up and near, to behold
distinct on the horizon, the
cyclical smiles of the moon at dawn
...

Let's thankful be me
and appreciate
in good and in worse
a case may be
...

It's a two way traffic
those coming and those going
as they come
we celebrate
