My heart, Wendy


This is Wendy. She is my entire heart though she does not know and between naps she hardly has time to listen to my stories. But when we talk about Sobukwe and loves lost she always says "what will Fati say?" and so it goes. Before I sleep in New Delhi I call out to Wendy and ask her to keep me safe from the frogs that call my bathroom "home", dammit. How do these frogs make it into my flat at night? It is a mystery that has me confused and dazed. So, instead of resisting anymore, I have resigned to calling my place "The Reptile Inn" ... oh I did not mention the lizards ;)

Sadly Wendy passed away last year.

I still miss her.

Onward!
