vidange des poubelles bouearquesques


Wewe paka
kwani wanludhiyani
wewe paka
unawaudhi majirani
Utapigwa
ukalipiwe faini






How to empty the stomach after attending an artist's party

your craving's craving for another crave
you'd wish you had a faint for once
a faint remembrance of a wealwetwant

something befitting the yawning
quadruple of your W, a fold on
the fold that hides the pus on the cut
inside your emptyness, a fix
on hold. You might wish i sent you this,

your tongue's run dry, your whoppy foam's
real high the desert's storm will always hurt
the inner eye with tang and tung and tong:

i won't. It will not end your way:
when all 's gone your ting
and gland too will be gone & dry

while our Siti sings she swings
your former wry as g*d's
old lullaby to me oh my

yes we gladly wave bye bye
before we vomit you into our sky.



The little track of swahili taarab by Siti binti Saad and Group was recorded ca. 1931 and can be found on the excellent album collected by dr. Janet Topp Fargion:
