EDEGBO AGAIN



I have not seen your voice 
The canary of dawn's worship 
Crackling chuckles for the anger-lion's cow 
The slithering hiss from a stung heart 
My axe is raised, the heaven-lies stirred 
You will ride echo's cart 
The lull of my plea to bring you home 
My yearn, waiting to be doused

EDEGBO



Edegbo was memory
Myth with whisper's wings
Cupid's prodigal child
I bargained for your heart
And you dally-ed a rock
Then threw cheese at me
After my arms built a tomb
And you slept in its womb
We profited from the sale of your soul
Before you decided to leave me hung
And cried for the comet and its show
I told you his tinder is but ashes
But you dimmed your light
And your silence cried for my arms
The tomb made only for you-
My maleness, that old prick
After we made gains
Of your heart's droppings
Fertilizer that grows my yearn
