In this poem, Abrahim Bah chants a dirge for unrequited love and the incessant turbulence of a love affair, especially such as have the weight of the romance resting too heavily on one lover. Clearly, the poetic persona, a victim of a one-way-traffic love, is lovelorn and Bah captures his/her emotions exquisitely. Kwaghkule, Jacob – Contributing Editor (Poetry)
To Precious: How to Riddle the Moon
When the angry storm is upheaved by the desert smoke-
and the thirsty waves cooled by the evening ray of sun,
when twilight hit the bay of rivers and lakes
when the trees symphonic songs are played;
use your lips and melodious voice
sing the tale of a lone lover sailing the seaway-
riddle the moon about your lover
a boy; a man. a lone traveler thirsty like the ocean,
symphonic like the trees and weary like the jungle at midnight.
riddle the moon about your lover. riddle the moon about the zombie boy.
