Revival

REVIVAL


Hearts hugging hearts, we revive
The still damp essence of our beings
We cling to each other,together now
Our joys in copulation, mating, fertile
Our agonies writhing, dying slowly
These agonies writhe, dying....

As if in the stranglehold
Of the spirited Mbele dance
We dymystify the now tepid myths
Of the Ajonkwu spirits, daring them
To untie the bonding knot, if they can
Untie these bonding knots....

Tied in thick emotions we live
Not in limbs already lost
In shimmies to break away, free
Of our sophistries of deception
Fumes of pleasures ephemeral, all these
Fumes of pleasures ephemearal....

Appendages we lost, you still lost
Ururo, we are coming to claim ours
From the tormentors that have held them
With the long withered breast of the witch
We will take ours, even when you flee
We will catch you, hide in the anthole and see....
