Our hearts and thoughts are with those affected by the senseless massacre in Nairobi. Kofi Awoonor, a Ghanaian poet, was one of the victims killed in the attack. We reflect on his poem below: Rediscovery "When our tears are dry on the shore and the fishermen carry their nets home and the seagulls return to bird island and the laughter of the children recedes at night there shall still linger the communion we forged the feast of oneness whose ritual we partook of There shall still be the eternal gateman who will close the cemetery doors and send the late mourners away It cannot be the music we heard that night that still lingers in the chambers of memory It is the new chorus of our forgotten comrades and the halleluyahs of our second selves"
