Nonzamo's Shebeen
nonzamo’s shebeen
shutters down at nine
i am very strict here
says nonzamo
swinging her ample bottom
darkness turns to light
everyday
here
alcohol paints the sky
alight
after nine at night
demons take back
lost territory.
Poem and Drawing by Amitabh Mitra

I like Nonzamo as a character - I can identify with her so much!
