the mountainside. poem by Ojijo Ogillo

(extracted from Fireplace Stories: Ojijo's Performance Poems. Poem .2012. ISBN.978-9966-123-17-6)
 

the mountainside

 
i am on my way to the mountainside,
that side of the mountain with green, lush green grass,
and shadowly trees, with canopy, wide and widening,
 
i am on my way to the mountainside,
that side of the mountain with  sunlight,
bright sun, burning worries and warming cold hearts,
 
i am on my way to the mountainside,
that side of the mountain with breeze,
freshbreeze reinvigorating, tantalizing, and refreshing,
 
i am on my way to the mountainside,
that side of the mountain with birds,
chirping and singing, crowing and whistling,
 
i am on my way to the mountain side,
that side of the moutanin with women, sexy,
with full lips, full hips, and full tits,
 
i am on my way to the mountain side,
that side of the mountain with men,
handsome men, with strong hands, big biceps, and large chests
