Aniwe Roso

A boy, a drum his grandmother should not have kept, and a rhythm the dead can hear.

The drum had been in the roof for eleven years. Ìyá kept it there the way other women keep a title deed, and she never once said what it was for. Ṣèyí found it the morning the rain came through. He was nine.
