Forty Winks

Facing the sunrise

From a cozy bed.

I turn over

Needing no shade.

 

Forty winks or two

Is what I require.

Not the sunlight

At an early hour.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
