Coming Out Of Voodoo Spells Poem by Sulaiman Mohd Yusof

Coming Out Of Voodoo Spells

Rating: 5.0


Streaming of curl hairs blown upwards
Petals of Eucalyptus sticking to the neck
Dripping sweats melancholic and spats
Moisturize the tarmac
At the far end of the crude muddy river
Purging a smile of chronic guilt
Embodied and lamented
Surging through foreign branches
Expandable for warranty
Double seaming for secrecy
Smitten and hasten serpent
Nodded and looked up to the mourning sky
Whispering words of ancient phrases
Whooping echoes of hungry wolves
Torching the night with annoyed souls
Merciful has scouted the twilights
No leading paths
No hide out
You’re doomed
