Confetti.
Colored sheets of paper.
Tarpaulin
Left over blocks
Half burnt wood
Gnarled iron rods
Sand
Mud and pebbles
Old cans
Old tires and a rim
A car door
Three stereo cases
Three tree trunks
One bucket
Another bucket below the leaking roof
A beaten bucket
One and half tubers of yam
Half boiled water in a steel helmet
Memories of meals on empty stomach
Sweating shirts
Rough boots by the door
Wall clock, right time and broken face
Second hand ticks away
History recorded every second
Naked boy playing in the mud
Naked woman stretched out
Broken voices
Broken songs
Beats from broken bottles
Chorus.
Swallows, kites
Solitary nightingale by the rubbish heap
Lonely pup sleeping at my feet.
