BELLY PAINS

My occasional lack of focus hit again in the usual ugly way whereby I can’t even get out of bed without a fight. So I took most of that time blaming Bitch for she was the added variable in my life. Said changed me from my workaholic, over achieving, creative nature. When I was done with that I blamed the lack of alcohol in my life...yes I have no boundaries.

Lemme get to my point. Am done with that 3weeks of zero focus and concentration but as soon as I was done with that I took a few more days to punish myself with moments of meditation on how I let go of things easily. So this time unlike the others I have had in my past I didn’t heal by getting rid of all parties in my life. Not that i wasn't tempted..but there is only so much damage you can do to your routine.

But I reviewed what I have lost in the past due to such behavior, extremely destructive behavior. Which biggest impact is making me a paper poet. While 2 years ago I was on that climb of being one of the best performing poets in Kenya. i just packed up one day and now we run into each other in the Nairobi streets. 

Now I am back to where I was 10 years ago. writing and leaving it for people reading abilities to interpret it...let’s not lie as good as I am with imagery it’s a risk not letting people hear in my own voice.

So two people within the past half hour have asked me if I am going for a poetry event that is happening tonight, so I get on facebook and I find I have enough poetry event invites am the one who chooses to ignore them. Looking through the list of attendees is where I get my excuse not to go.

In their flamboyant facebook names they are all mixed up...people I have known in the poetry world who were my comrades in our fight for the WORD to be heard.

Joined by the new acquaintances in this LGBTI world, talk about word meets bed. Keep in mind I have managed to separate the two like gays and boredom. Just to make it worse add a few exes and one nighters from both worlds. 

I hope you remember I told you my reaction is to emotional tension of any kind: RUN! so I sit half working, half tryna convince myself I need to feel that stage high once more another fraction telling me to get my beers and go home, call up bitch and have a lovely night.

I need to buy balls...or as she said. I should grow a cunt. So for now I shall act like I will show up n get a taste of poetry and get to sit with my beer and listen.

Wait...one of my coolest ‘boy’ just skyped, she is coming! Its decided Am going for poetry tonight! Bitch should join too…this will be interesting. I will give the review.

POLLS!

hehehehehe It is disrespectful and silly of me to have such lovely people reading and take so long to write. So this shall be me paying up my dues….(30mins later) Now I have started writing this blog thrice and I give myself an excuse of why I should not make ‘that’ a public reading when I start. Making it obvious that I have been having so much trouble writing simply because that voice in my head (I got a few too many) can’t stop giving me excuses on why not. So we shall work with me writing about whatsoever I wanna write about and you reading only what holds your interests (like when was it not, some may ask?). Let’s give the lesbians a break and focus on a little bit more than me trying to impose my ideas, beliefs or lack there off in most cases on them. So today I shall speak of something that I think is imperative for all LGBTI persons in our country to think through.      Here we have Kenya going to the polls in the next few months and the public joins hands to ensu

My body called you this morning, I woke to a room full of breathe and I swear, I tasted your scent in my mouth.  My eyes were blurred by the gifts of your form And my cheeks, fully stretched. You know how I can't draw a cup, right? My fingers had written in hieroglyphs Each of my fantasies all over the sheet and each period was you.  You once called me a performer, And all I heard was the only audience I needed.  Last month I didn't dial your number once And I haven't read any Art of war that prepared me for that.  I don't smile each morning lately and my demons are seated on each face I meet, But your smile in my memories cleanses me enough to still catch some sleep I had a difficult night at the bar yesternight. But the 5 minutes I spent On the spot you once placed your beer And with entitlement you inquired 'Why don't I love you anymore?' Washed it all away. I don't remember my deeply thought through well structured answer, But I

WHO RUN THE WORLD???

GAYS!! So I did it again...running my mouth, in this case my fingers got me blogging right now when my time would be so awesomely divided in my work. Its started today in the morning when I got a text from my boss that Kiss FM just advertised the Programs Coordinator vacancy we have at The Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya where I work as the Research officer. Yes! earthlings, I work with them.  The first mistake that heterosexuals make is starting any statement with the 'THEM' word. Early in the week I was in a panel conducting interviews and some guy kept saying THEM while referring to the LGBTI (Lesbian, Gays, Bi-sexuals, Transgender and Intersex) for those of you who need the basics.  My morning got wayyyyyy more interesting when I got to work and checked out Caroline Mutoko's update that was actually a job advert for the position. So we have at this time over six hundred comments on the update in the following categories 1. Homophobes throwing their
