Hi everybody,
Please discover beneath an entry in Purrsday Poetry by Martin H. Samuel:
Returned to Kenya rented a automobile
(station wagon)
‘gari’ in Swahili
in downtown Nairobi for a ten-day
(sleep within the again) do-it-myself safari
become Tsavo ‘simba’ (lions)
I needed to see
pulled off the street parked beneath a tree
had a drink killed the sunshine
cracked the home windows for the evening
early subsequent morning needed to go within the dew
climbed out barefoot
mist throughout obscuring the view
stifling a yawn ambled into the daybreak
when, sleepily beginning to pee,
had the sensation
one thing was watching me
regarded round then down on the floor
the realm was circled
lion footprints I noticed
privates in hand backed as much as the door
they might see me I couldn’t see them
I’ll by no means make that mistake once more.
