I was glad to sit on a fell branch
in a narrow path
at eight o' clock of a cold morning
and just sitting there
someone would come
maybe...of the king real puzzle
And before me is my town men feet
fast driving them the palace way
their faces expressing some goodness
leading my thought to a new edge of blackness.
After the sun had risen
neither love nor hatred could
turned on in me
thinking my life after all is simple
too simple,
then I lifted up my head
seeing ladies tired footsteps
with the princess' among.
In no hurry
in absence,expressing myself along in the
jungle river way
as they converse.
And I, seeking love
into a place of her bath
saw the craving; bead's type and colour
a wonder,adorning in such a waist
the yearning of all Mutumbu's men
In the palace
in the room; the princess
a Mutumbu girl with meek eyes
coloured apparel on a model figure.
More than a reward,
more than hope rekindle
and not only am I a royal in-law
but now also a Mutumbu hero.
