Too difficult to make out the
Inscription on the ceramic ladle
There is a fading
Calligraphy that sits
Exquisitely on the margins of
Its once beautiful handlev
The inscription barely legible reads:
Empires come, empires go
from When donkeys give birth to calves: totems, wars, horizons, diasporas (Red Sea Press, 2012)
