The Interrogation
Do you remember?
Despite myself!
When did it happen?
When does it not?
Could you identify them?
They look like you.
Did they hurt you?
That was their intention.
Did you scream?
The world is deaf.
How long did it last?
It’s never ending.
Did they take anything?
Me.
Have you seen them since?
Every night, in my dreams.
Do you have any evidence?
This pain.

BIO:
Vuyokazi Ngemntu is a writer-performer whose work negotiates the capricious dance between an unapologetic, unitalicised global African voice and the positionality of such a voice in the global sphere, embracing the idiosyncrasies which are continental yet universally relatable in the telling of authentic stories.
