A buildup,
sluggish….
one word after the other
at first, dull,
monotonous,
but like a crescendo
the words flow,
the atmosphere changes,
there is an activation.
it looks like we always knew the destination all along.
however, it was in waiting,
building,
fanning the embers, we got here.
Like the woman,
sitting at the side of the road,
gathering her coal in the pot,
ready for another daily 2k
she sets up the pot.
with the cover of a standing fan as the lid.
she set fire to the pot,
fanning,
patiently waiting for the heat to go round
waiting for it to be as red as crimson
at a set time, the heat is generated
the plantain, the corn, and the pear,
are set, ready.
the buyer comes to see the result
unaware of the backend.
A build-up,
gradually,
then,
suddenly.
