Dear Hamadi, Kan you plese let me know how to get a copy of your collections. For Freedom Saiks TO LENRIE PETERS The ponds of Katchikali have dried, and the women fetch water from the tears of the revered crocodiles Who cut open the heart of Katchikali? Who sewed up the eyes of the dove? Who killed the keeper, and let loose the game to trample on the farms at dusk? Who burnt the lone palm tree for soda water, and threw the gourd into the foamy waves as the ship sailed away with the cargo? What are these footsteps on the periphery of Fajara cemetery? Who cut down the mangroves to lit a bonfire when we don't even know how to dance the sewruba? from "Recollections of a Lost Century" by Hamadi Banna ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
