Death of a Chief by Khadambi Asalache.

pavements lined

sorrowful silence

tears

the coffin off to somewhere

in black


behind it the entire district

involved

in songs of grief

that flow and follow

a trailing gesture

thoughts

battered syllables

on lips


as past periods

return

in the farewell

of the blank faces

to float a fable

dreams

years of his reign


the path is silent

to this procession

walking into a myth

as he passes

alone


freed from praises

the worldly notion

the sensate achievement that floats

on tongues like a wind

like changeable news

this slow walk seems

a readjustment


from his life

a transit

a sampling of the fragrance

of death and the surprise of

its calm

an eternal grip cold
