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?
