1. 1998: Pius Njawe by Jo Matthews

    The Heart of the matter.
    You know whose.
    Every choice is paid for.
    Acrid blood - sugar and tears.
    Acid tears - flesh and blood.
    Abridge. Arrest. Abuse.
    Again.
    Flashlight flows as
    Inky truth slips
    Fifteen slaughterer’s bars and
    Stubborn sentences shell my skin.
    And the Messenger is shot.
    Again.
