Footpath
Path – let … Leaving home, leading out Return my mother to me. The sun is sinking and darkness coming, Hens and cocks are already inside and babies drowsing, Return my mother to me. We do not have firewood and I have not seen the lantern, There is no more food and the water has run out Path – let me pray, you return my mother to me. Path of the small hills, path of the small stones Path of slipperiness, path of the mud Return my mother to me. Path of papyrus, path of the rivers Path of small forests, path of reeds Return my mother to me Path, I implore you, return my mother to me Path of the crossways, path that branches off, Path of the stringing shrubs, path of the bridge Return my mother to me Path of the open, path of the valley Path of the steep climb, path of the downward slope Return my mother to me. Children are drowsing about to sleep, Darkness is coming and there is no firewood, And I have not found the lantern; Return my mother to me. ~ Stella Ngatho. QUESTIONS
