The mind of Sun smiles from the centre
The mind of Moon beams from the corner: they seek
Body to put on the Beam Bang to ensure a universality…
Moon says to Sun “you are hot” And Sun says

Let the gong-gong ring through
The living rooms of Canada Singapore New Zealand
Russia India El Salvador Poland China Botswana Switzerland
England Papua New Guinea Brazil South Africa

I dreamt I saw foams falling on the SunCongo…
I dreamt I saw the foams stimulating aberrant tributaries
I dreamt I saw their accumulations create neotributaries
I dreamt I saw the neotributaries escalate as scarletwaves

Nthu, nthu ne banwe (I am because you are)
A Bantu conception

Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly

Well Watered Remontant Roots
Would inherently make turgid a shoot
With desire to flaunt turbans
And turbans in a season: But I see

Sugar Cane; Truly
Unmodified in Genetic Constitution
Would ever store its future, where the Tongue’s
Crave for sugar Stops

You look content like butterfly intoxicated by sun
Because the baby is sucking a nipple of bottle?
And your two fit milky blessing doing a covert observation
Is this something from colleagues...

Our barns are blessed with cobs of wisdoms
Like: It is unfair for fan of a mouth to kill fire in
A meal and a different mouth to snatch-and-crunch”
But this is the drama enthralling farmers for decades

The election is up again
You project your arms to blast others sweat won appellations…
That you see leviathans lingering around and that’s your whys…
Now the election is over…a baton is handed over to you

Working on a Book titled 'A Postcolonial Mirror')

The Best Poem Of Gabriel Eshun

Tale Of Two Stars

The mind of Sun smiles from the centre
The mind of Moon beams from the corner: they seek
Body to put on the Beam Bang to ensure a universality…
Moon says to Sun “you are hot” And Sun says
To Moon “you are cool”. Sun without quenching glow
Asks: What bores you Moon” Moon replies “a Sun that
Is dull” Sun asks “can a Sun be dull” Moon retorted
Oh, so you don’t have this coverage”

Sun opens instantaneous hotline “sorry, I thought a
Sun radiates on halos like you”. Moon twirls, the toss of
Blondeness touching Sun’s brunette! Then asks Sun “what
Drink would you like” Sun replies, I am a ‘totaller, Orange
Thanks! Thru flagrant osmosis Moon presses keys that
Titillate like “the IQ of zebras will be great on a Mensa…
And Sun lifts his voice and sings an Akan drum
I call gold—gold is mute—I call cloth—
Cloth is mute—It is humankind that matters”

Sun buys Moon glass of her choice boasting warmth
Still they throw topics along osmotic understandings
Then Moon brings out a house of wrapped tobacco
And asks Sun “do you want to stick with one? ”—
Sun replies, “I am a Non-smoker Thanks”. Sun
Watches Moon cover the mirror with…then Moon
Turns suddenly to Sun and asks in an unshakable
Diminuendo—Are you a boring Sun? ”

The DJ releases Marley—the legend wasted no
Time to charge the floor with positive vibrations…
Sun vibrates warm with the One Love Consciousness…
And bubbles of sweats of Sun’s Afro reflect the lights
Extra curvy stars speed grace the shaking floor
The galaxy of curvy stars form an orbit around Sun
Their rotations tantalizingly passionate with Sun

Hastily Moon gather steps and reggae thru the orbits
Her feet dactylology like Adowa dancer catches Sun’s eyes
Then Moon explodes genially on eardrums of Sun
Thought we could see through our multicultural
Osmotic discourses somewhere quiet we two? ”
Sun cogitates on zebra, the Akan drum then glows green
Moon soliloquises with palpable royal splendour: Eureka!
