(died 20 August 1993)
Why depart when I am writing my first gems, why the fire why such a departure? Can words mean anything then, can memorials bring such moments back again, songs are sung such moments are seen, God’s plans take place; His Hand we only Praise.
Sneva J. Marengu
Only living grandmother left, those meals those days and those beautifuly-pleasant chidings that I tease you about, such moments!
Peter-Juma P.Z.
The DJ man, such uncontrollable binges, all the same thank you for the long welfare as we wait for the right day. Don’t forget the days I called at the dreary reception. Greetings Father.
Emma-Mamvula
Huge meals made the Poet Inspiration and the Stings produced these for you to see for your relief your waiting and your painful calls as the patient-nurse, aint it beautiful mother.

inside out
tall dreams possess that short zest
what love moons over this doorway confused?
the lovely whore!
the broken dollar in polana hotel
from nowhere suddenly dew
night without pain
my blue resignation conclude
ode to god
iron shit
cain and abel
sentiment’s lane
