Elegy to Baboucarr Etu Ndow
Can I write a poem for you Etu
But what poem can ever hope to say
What you were, what you are
You who are now one with Mother Nature
In this eternal moment of roaring silence?
Can I write a poem for you Etu
Say your words remain lyrics
In the songs of beautiful birds
Say your vision is dancing with the leaves
Upon the trees of Art Village
Say your eyes still dance with life
Upon the faces of your silent beauties?
Can I write a poem for you Etu
Of the days you shared your work
So full of life
Say the future you saw so bright
Will come to pass
In this eternal moment of wailing silence?
Can I write a poem for you Etu
You who are now one with Mother Nature
Beautiful Mother Nature that nurtured you
Beautiful Mother Nature that you nurtured
Beautiful Mother Nature that forever cradles you
Beautiful Mother Nature that forever smiles with you
On this quiet day that never ends?
Can I write a poem for you Etu?
Baba
