TOKOLOSHE
& other shapes
VIRGINIE REBETEZ
Footsteps on the door step
Tokoloshe wants his sour milk
In order to rest
Tickling toes
And dancing with the shadow
Tokoloshe wants his fresh blood
In order to please his creator
Using tricks
To visit dreams
The little man
Is no good to plan
Even when luck
Is out of hand
Footsteps on the bedroom wall
Tokoloshe needs to kill
Once more
In order the curse
To work
