Easy

Make a wish when you see a star, break the glass when you see a scar, for it is easy to leave, and hard to love a specific part of your body. If I die now, it is that I was always myself, never loved a man, or had my heart broken. I am incapable… Continue reading Easy

Friendship.

Sunny afternoon and the dry leaves were falling down lightly as harmattan approached slowly; I saw a black figure standing under a Neem tree; I wanted to trace my department but couldn’t; as a fresher and looking not northern, I was lost, confused, and thirsty.

Eat your high, be a muse Irene does not know that my laughter is induced Maiduguri and flies Maybe that’s why I lie About smokes and fire  Lightning and thunders For truths are wired around me  Like tides befall a mighty ocean Overpowering and consuming  while appearing In the morning like placid What if I… Continue reading Maiduguri and Flies

12 am and Biscuits

I crave biscuits at 12 am A new day so I wore my fallen bonnet  I pushed my tampon deeper while heavy blood came down as I drank water A reminder that I am a woman The vigilante came at 12 am My blood swayed and hit I sneezed and more blood came out I… Continue reading 12 am and Biscuits
