Hospitality

They left 1
Kindly persuaded
By friendly batom

The unripe rubble of them all
Came back after a kind persuasion 5
of the yellow sheet

The first quartile
of the celebrated score
veered persuasively
to the countryside 10
where peasants scratch
barren grounds

But someone left to the unknown
the referee
who once blew the whistle 15
and the ground where once stood
Is mined and barbed
Is mined and barbed.
JARED ANGIRA
