Nyumbani

Day 10 Prompt: Use a non-English word.

I tried to write it down:
moto, fire
chakula, food
pilipili, spicy
watoto, children
nyumba, home

But the words flew away
like a thousand tiny blue birds,
feathers flashing
out over the lake.
I cannot recall the words
for water, sky, or snake.

What do you think?
