If I know a song of Africa...
2:26:32
of the giraffe...
2:26:34
and the African new moon
lying on her back...
2:26:39
of the ploughs in the fields...
2:26:42
and the sweaty faces
of the coffee pickers...
2:26:46
does Africa know a song of me?
2:26:52
Will the air over the plain quiver...
2:26:54
with a colour that I have had on?
2:26:59
Or will the children invent a game...
2:27:02
in which my name is?
2:27:05
Or the full moon throw a shadow...
2:27:08
over the gravel of the drive...
2:27:11
that was like me?
2:27:14
Or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills
look out for me?
2:27:31
You cannot come where I am going.
2:27:33
There is no cooking
where you are going?
2:27:37
You would not like it there.
You must trust me about this.
