The Children of Laas Geel

Recommended Posts

Scattered

on the shoulders

of the mountain of Laas Geel:

 

boulders

of a broken god,

on her journey to the plains.

 

Crevices of stone

decant their

poetry…

 

hollowed

by the elements,

denuded by her foes,

 

in hues of

cows and kudu, she

is painted by her sons,

 

with hadhuubs

of peace she is watered

by her daughters

 

till, from the grave

of dead gods, great

folk emerge
