From Her Letters To Me Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Mourn little-
That knows me
Mourn little-
That cares
Mourn little-
When know my deceit
Mourn little-
When know- my indifference

My baby-
I shall be your shame
And be your regret
My baby-
I shall be your pain
And belong- your memories
I wish thee my indifference thru

You shall not grasp-
That body is used
And my heart is wear
That the mask no longer holds
And the robe no longer covers
Mourn little beloved-
For I must pass on- to live on

And pour ashes mine in the waves
-Throw it
Perhaps I could in end belong
In the silences of the sea
Away from the scorch of the sun
Away from the wants of my toddler
-To the company of my lust
Where my being belongs
