Last night we had a party
with Khanyi’s friends and some of ours
for one of my favorite people poems
Khanyisile Ndaba grandchild and teacher
for us of what it means to be young
and in this world still full of joy and hope
and love and good intentions and we drank
Sam’s mulberry vodka and ate
Noah and Chesray’s feast
with Elthea Ndaba who made things beautiful
and Ahava and Laia taught Louisa cartwheels
and we who sometimes wonder
what will happen to this world
felt grateful for the next generation
and their children too
grateful that we are here with them now.
Bellissima e bravissima!
I want more of this and more and more
