The Tenant (Na Ncube/Ngulube 1966 - )

There is no room for you
in my heart. The only tenant
who ever lived there left
some luggage behind.


I didn't even evict her. She 5
simply left without a word.


I keep hoping she will come
back and collect the luggage
or at least arrange for disposal
clean out the place, throw out 10
old memories.


I could possibly live with
the marks on the walls. Some
are completely indelible
some I even like. 15


But you see I am afraid that
if it all goes, what will I do
with all that empty space.
