So Many Dreams

By Baba Galleh Jallow

 

The Igbo say

When the moon is shining

The cripple

Becomes hungry for a walk;

What the Igbo did not know

Or did not say is that

The Cripple

With a capital C

Is always hungry for a walk;

Especially when

Thereโ€™s no moon in the skies

And the world is dark

And he cannot

Just get up and go

Walk right into the inviting lights

Of his so many dreams!
