“Poem” by WITS Student Aisha Muse
September 16, 2022
There’s a poem in this place
a poem stronger than a steel cup
a poem that races through
your mind faster
than a modern car
There’s a poem in this place
a poem so calm it feels like you’re sailing on the sea
There’s a poem in this place
a poem so wild
it sounds like a rock band
There’s a poem in this place
a poem that restarts but never ends
Aisha Muse wrote this poem while a student at Dearborn Park International Elementary School with WITS Writer-in-Residence Samar Abulhassan. Aisha read this poem to open our Literary Arts Series event with Abdulrazak Gurnah on September 20, 2022.
