Musbau means "source of light"

Uncle Musbau made me fanciful contraptions. He folded fan yogo packets And turned them into Magnetised cars With bottle caps for tires, a crude remote and all. He was always good at Sparking wonder and excitement. We were auteur chefs cooking chikki chikki noodles in his cramped self-contain. Heavy steam boiling out the pot blurring his face so I don't quite remember what he used to look like. But, I recall his stocky voice. not the kind you can imitate. Sounded like his Adam's apple sat low when he spoke. Swagger when he walked. We were both young after all. Short short hair. Always clean, like his room. Last time I saw him, he still had that off-center smile, looked kinda weird with a goatee. Can't remember his younger face , only the one I saw last. He still made wonders from scratch. But didn't make me a toy Instead, offered to cobble me new, pretty shoes. That seemed more fitting for a grown girl.
