Obatala moulded a head for me This head that followed me here A head without fault He rejected evil and poverty My head covets only the good, Good husband, good children My leg refused the journey not approved by my head Have you not heard! There is no head like mine My head danced to […]

Here begins my call on empty slowly, fading, surely – longing like the rooms of this abbey. Not a drop of sound strumming. Alone calls and turn me on, showing less affection and says its more. Locking my dreading nights for fun, as we play games she knows the score. Dark holds its hole to […]

Long Goemai! The vector warrior Chief of the spears Fighting to hold these lands with his hands. Long! King! Lion! Long Du’ut Father of the seven rooms opening to hold Dungba, Menka’at, Dungoeshin, Du’ut. The leader of the southー that feathery eye. Kong gurum ka goe toêp. The bringer of rain and the veil of […]

The one that follows will learn to walk. The one who listens will learn to talk. And some are unfit to unlace their shoes, Others have names and titles they choose. Someday this school will learn to unteach, And we will pitch our tent each Leonell ======================================== Goodー something like the sun and night as […]

Jos crisis! Like a tree it has its branches. An aspect through every angle Through the eyes of even the little Ruffle that stiffened cries of the masses Where blood in memory gushes I heard beautiful stories One of beauty, another of warmth How she was a mother to all Never complained about differences Instead […]

See me, please see me. See me for who i am Do not relieve me of this stare,let this beauty swam. Blink, blink, blink another, drop the tears to clean. Let your socket be my mirror,let it help me preen. Close up at night, close your windows and then go to sleep. Our eyes are […]

I am falling off a cliff, My air box fails halfway And my head asks me what if, What if this dream fades away? What if i survive? What if like lead, i drop To hold the ankle of the afterlife? There’s a casket in my head Needing a body inside. I’m falling off a […]

Let us saddle up the horses. Let’s run to midnight town! Hurry! Hurry! Slow but surely Let’s run to midnight town! Let’s reach out and pull the clouds down! Let the wild moon see me With voices raw We’d scratch and paw Let the wild moon see me. Let’s deep, dive and flirt with the […]
