Private Dining Under A Blouse In the middle of our conversation and the din of the large dining room she lifted her blouse her baby blindly grabbing her nipple with his mouth, the blouse covered him like a shroud for private dining. I saw the infant emerge sleeping held in an untroubled dream. I sucked on my straw flattening the plastic stem still awake and troubled.

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!
