When did these tears
Find their way into my lines?
When did this fear
Creep into my song?
When did I drink
From the cup of despair?
When did my tongue taste
The bile of sorrow?
I used to sing of roses
And smiling sunflowers
I used to know laughter
And all its tender melodies
Just when did I become
The calabash carrying tears?
When did I become
The singer of sad songs?
