My apologies and condolences.

My apologies and condolences first; to all who've had and lost me in their lives, yours a feeling is what life gives, getting and losing so fast  for a soul so fragile like wild eggs, humdrummed to resignation, tenderness it oft° begs. My condolences and apologies first: I'm sorry if I never said goodbye, I'm sorry if you were accustomed to me standing by, I'm sorry if to limbo your thoughts have been cast- my condolences, at your whims I've oft° died thence, to nature I must abide. Weigh not much on your outcast soul; free your mind for tomorrow's long trek. Give the scars a jolly smile,from slavery you'll break, for I lost myself too in this play so foul. So, jot my spirit an apology and a note of condolence, misery won't inter me more in a cruel embrace. © Bunguswa Brian™ 2021

Even the fire forgot the match, warming hands that stayed, teaching ash how to rest. Now the shelter grows moss and memory, a green insistence against ruin. Clouds pass without rehearsal, rain signs its name and leaves. What remains is the craft of standing, learning weather without becoming it, and letting roofs be roo...

I was the shelter, not the storm.

She left like a match dropped in dry season, and called the fire “my temper.” Now her timeline blooms with thorns she names “my wounds,” each caption a soft lie dressed in lilies. I read them like weather reports of a storm I survived, wondering how the lightning learned my name, and why the rain keeps apologizing. I was the clay cup that held her thirst, yet she says I was the crack. She gathers sympathy like beads for a rosary of regrets, counting my flaws as prayers. But I remember the nights she borrowed my sunrise, then returned only the shadows, and said darkness was my design. Her posts are mirrors she polishes with blame, reflecting a man she never met. I am a river she crossed on her own reflection, then claimed the water drowned her. The world drinks her version like sweetened tea, while my truth sits, unsipped, cooling beside the memory of her hands. Let her rewrite the sky if it gives her peace, I have already learned the language of clouds. Pain is an ink that ...
