– A Poem by Bongani Kigundu
blinking became risky,
each shutter a shot
blasting my brain
with bliss temporarily.
I was in hell,
losing a battle
held over a 1000
memories.
Now retaliating,
my heavy mind
won’t surrender.
Slipping seems easy
and I desperately want to,
away behind my eyelids
silently into the night.
