Elegy to Baboucarr Etu Ndow

Can I write a poem for you Etu

But what poem can ever hope to say

What you were, what you are

You who are now one with Mother Nature

In this eternal moment of roaring silence?

Can I write a poem for you Etu

Say your words remain lyrics

In the songs of beautiful birds

Say your vision is dancing with the leaves

Upon the trees of Art Village

Say your eyes still dance with life

Upon the faces of your silent beauties?

Can I write a poem for you Etu

Of the days you shared your work

So full of life

Say the future you saw so bright

Will come to pass

In this eternal moment of wailing silence?

Can I write a poem for you Etu

You who are now one with Mother Nature

Beautiful Mother Nature that nurtured you

Beautiful Mother Nature that you nurtured

Beautiful Mother Nature that forever cradles you

Beautiful Mother Nature that forever smiles with you

On this quiet day that never ends?

Can I write a poem for you Etu?

Baba
