Ginikachi Uzoma Poems

Fanciful droplets of
leaves' virgin morning sweats
made my heart colder
than the warmth of my skin
...

Parochial orators of federal laws
Makers of peace, freedom and too of wars
Hallowed thyself by your adjourned witt’ism
For against your laws no criticism?
...

'A Quiet Journey III'
Now, forbid it not
When you're told:
'You will kiss the dust'
...

Be not merciful in doing it!
Be not quick to quit!
For in not doing it
More heads have rolled
...

Each time I looked back
I saw nothing,
But the grasses kept ruffling behind me
Till it became a distant sound
...
