Little girl

Sonia Nkera, September 5, 2021

It was the images
The images of the little girl
Fighting for her life
The night dark beyond the curtain

Even the stars had gone to bed
My mind couldn’t

I remembered

Her tremors
Fear

And then the house came alive
With the night closing in from the outside

I tried to sing
My mind saw the words
My voice could not catch them

The little girl

Her body wrecking with tremors
Her little body
Courting death

I could not sing
The air still reeked of death
Feeding the house

Bringing it to life

But my little sister

She wasn’t coming to life
