A brother in Wedding gown By YJ
Brother of kin, hello!Right there in Sintet, hello!A salute from that younger
one of yoursThat little one you fedThat little one you clothedThat little one
you termed a heroThat little one you confided withThat little one you so dearly
loved -YeroIndeed, so dear!My brother of kin be blessed!
In my eyes, a shot of red ink -tearsIn my ears, the drums of the imaginary
fiddles,Drums and all the 'tamars' ever of melodyShame on nostalgic malady!Daddy
here, granny there,Brothers, sisters, aunties andAll the generation's relatives
at showBut only little me afarAnd Mama, who left us together for everNever to
see again till at heaven –God's willing.
On that mighty Friday at roarI prayed little me, asking God AlmightyTo imaginary
put me by your large companyOr at least to run my hairy ebony face in your
sight's screenJust so my absence not be judged a tragedyWhen I am much more in
loveMuch more in memoryMuch more in feelings than all can be seenFrom far and
near of the cities and townsAll but for true you, Batch-Samba.
Dearest lighted skinned brother Batch-SambaI convey my love to you todayWishing
you a happy life together with AjaWhile you are in your gown's cotton wearArmed
with a traditional standing swordWith your back-up brothers all around
youGuarded by heavenly humans and angelsA special mercy from GodFor your ever
smiley ebony faceThat reminds me of our late mama.
