Anniversary

It‘s a shame and a sham to lose experiments. You could say that this is an experiment, black and white and lines, and a slight shade of blue. But on the larger, more intricate, scale, it is an experiment to see how much success we can make from failure, and how much introspection we can make from goodwill. This job—without pay—has taught us to believe in creation, and to look upon our creation with wonder, awe and intensity. That is, if this is still our creation. You discover that it has become the creation of a larger audience, even French poets, and that it has become a Juliet being loved by seasoned ‘diasporan’ poets, amongst others. How we pray that it would never become unloved! And so, now that you have read and glimpsed, do not lose experiments. Affirm, alongside us, that the best is yet to come, and that our journey has not begun. Happy first anniversary, Saraba; whoever you are.
