Poems from beyond the grave

Extraordinarily moving to find this piece

one of the last poems written by an African poet, Kofi Awoonors, killed in the Westgate Centre in Nairobi.


Who knows when death will come for us?

Sometimes we have an inkling.

Sometimes we just write of what is sure to come

one day.
