A poem-story for anyone who’s ever been “married off” to a future they didn’t RSVP to The Flight 30.09.2023, 10:45 p.m. The sky was a cracked eggshell— yolk bleeding over the runway. I carried a suitcase labeled “maybe” and a mother-sentence tucked under my tongue: “Keep your eyes open for opportunities out there.” The audacious […]
… I know them intimately, as one knows the contours of an old scar…
… But the body keeps.
This is finally it… I dreamt about her!I saw her… felt her.I live for those days.This may actually qualify as one of my favorite days.You should have seen me in the morning all excited. I have not felt such a warm embrace like that. Meeting again, and all I felt was pure joy. It was […]
The last time we interacted, I shared a slight intro about the journey of the discovery of the self (https://sippingoncocktails.co.ke/2021/12/31/the-journey-of-discovering-the-self-part-1/).
