a hillock of grated nutmeg
a generous sprinkle of turmeric powder
two fstful of cardamom seeds,
crushed in between limestone
carefully disassembled hibiscus leaves
clumps of African nightshade
​
stir till sunset gold
add shards of okra
ripe avocado
the white under skin of an oversized orange
​
warm apple juice
three black-eyed peas,
greek salad
​
a generous dollop of mint green ice-cream
​
foamy goat milk and honey suckles
serve with stories of that Black ballet dancer
who spun in circles, back in ‘89
with long dreads and too many flavours in her mouth
​
who walked with gracefulness
whispering ‘did you hear? im a ghost’
