LYRICS
I sent a letter through your mum, on the way she lost it
Somebody must have picked it up and put in their pocket x2

It wasn’t you, It wasn’t you x2
Juu April ilipofika
Aliniambia mayai ilitagwa siku ya Easter
T hat’s why hakuMarch after February na Valentine kupita
Alisema she didn’t know if this January would find us ikifika
I was a bit cold in December
Detached in November
October her birthday passed and it wasn’t remembered
So add that to the scar from September
The rain in August only washed away the tears from July
When you lied alisema
Akikumbuka, memories za June
Love making under the moon
Tukishare the promises from May
Which carried what may come to pass as the promise that
Love says when it promises to stay,
So Dear Ms. April I say in this letter how much I pray
Like a Soldier naenda vita inside myself where love stays
Nikirudi, Happy Valentine, smile when I come
Worry za Jan
Bury them all in this box of Chocolates which I carry in my hand
Bury in my love all the words that you let fall
Juu nakupenda love
Juu nakupenda now
Chorus.
And so ‘to whom it may concern’ was the address
She wrote on the brown paper, she left on his mess
It started off as ‘‘Dear Mr, May I say since we met last June, you’ve been on my mind everyday
Even though July sikukuona tena
Ningependa kusema
Matamshi yako ilinifungua kama mvua kwa Umbrella
Na sura yako akilini ilizaa tunda ya kujishika in August
That’s why, nilisimama nje mvua ilipokuja with a hope that itaniosha na hizi fikra kuzifuta
But this,
haiku-happen September ilikuja
Nikakumbuka
Vile ulifanya heart yangu kumiss
Na kuruka
Ki-Halloween za October
Trick or treat
Treat me to your tricks
In all this,
promise zote uli-make. Was that your face or a mask juu at some point zilimix
October nilidhani utare-appear
Juu ilikuwa birthday yangu pia
I just wanted to put an end to this year
Hallo January, February, I want to March but April ilipofika the Son I birthed, showed me your eyes nikakumbuka how I loved you much once
And that’s why ningependa tu kukuona
Kuja kwangu hii barua ukishaisoma
Ni mimi wako, April
Unaujua mahali utanipata love’’
Chorus
(Beatboxing)
I sent a letter through your mum and and on the way she [scat singing] somebody must have picked it up

In discussion today is the politics of the African man’s body. His body as a tool both for oppression and exploitation. His body as a mystery to him. His body as a stubborn enigma. In the complexities of gender capital, trauma, and cultural nuances.
