What will I offer you
or how should the dialogue begin!
Fate mixing with records
a new line
for the old moon
mood of blood and wings
for order and journey
in route of totem gifts.
Roots and plants
leafs that grow in human memories
and those soliciting the
melanin of the dead
bringing to judgment
praise and fantasy
soles and seeming sermon
of unworthy existence of knob-lord.
Conversion of confession
to cube of sticky flesh
hips on earth's crescent
and pools of magnetic field
healthy rob of oranges
in phalanges of sensual assonance
meeting camel of myriad jinx
propelling pants with incantations
reducing mutual multiplicity
to subtraction of conscience
into bones and fiery tears
of merciless merchants
and gracing mat of egbére
the banking treasury of
rushing fame and fading constellations.
Pepperish gnashing
of diluted technology into
class of clashy calabash
forcing cowries out of the
corridor of olókun sèníadé
processing innerman with
dreadlocks of affiliated Samson.
Casino of lotus
in sexual images of loins
party testament
of foregathered tomorrow
and woods of Lamurudu's visit
in Bayero of Goddot
that can sing and dance
without acoustic measure of sounds.
Then he said:
'I've come for balancing pace
of inks in serpentine folds
to write on those unborn
bamboos of golden sheets.
In our database
mature minds can borrow
up to the fifth grades of souls'
machineries with semen covenant
while eating elders will shift
teller of virtues to the sixth generations.'
Farms and its harvest
is meant for living footprints
while soils of nutrients
are being shared between
deeds and trends
shrouds and hidden caveat
of dead, living, and unborn.
Backgrounds and foreplays
are those watery panels
that change rainbows
to screens of monochromic attitudes
where kings of many reigns
plants with flourishing flowers
seasons of crimson prophecies
admit unethical transformation
to relics from dashing shadows
and skeleton of six-feet pajamas.
I will sing of those
unexplainable melodies
that come through the
coloring waters from empty mails.
I will dance bàtá
with symphonies of àgídìgbo
to enjoy momentary tides.
We might come
through the safeties in white garments
to blend ourselves with world
of haunted stores to negotiate
mathematics of living peace.
