Esther At The Gate Poem by Braimah Saaka

Esther At The Gate



There she stood
Legs akimbo
The sun setting
behind her

The maize crop
in green bloom
pitch darkness
besides her

The gateman's bench
Empty yet
The sentry door
Open still

Esther at the gate
her dark shadow
the grey sand
at her feet

Her white skirt
The white gate
Her white smile
The white lamp

Her low flats on
the brown grass
Velvet black skin
Color of her hair

Oh! Oh! Esther!
