African Lusophone Studies

I now obsess about Africa
go to bed thinking of the blogs
we might post
rambling
imagining
creating
figuring out
Africa in Portuguese
but in English instead
I obsess to the point
of drawing mental maps
of all of Angola
Cape Verde
S. Tomé maybe...
the trick 
is to set you
in the middle of each map

I obsess gloriously!
One of these days
I'll wake up speaking creole
and let them know
some of my own truth
about Africa in Portuguese
though truthfully its all in English

with you

in the middle of each map.
