With Melissa Kiguwa

English

Make sure to come and check out Melissa Kiguwa, next Tuesday, August 26 @THE HUB!



"you are from the north,

so I tongue travel

earlobe to neck cradle



retracing your journey from

ancestral village to my bed.



in one night I learn

the contours of your face



your eyes like your hellos

I never know if what you say

is what you mean.



But your cheeks speak

words familiar



so I kiss



over and over, until i

realize



holding onto the back of your head is not enough.



I want to devour you.



Sink feeling into

warm wetness,



falling slowly into

the salvation of your face,



I taste what could be

on your tongue."
