Know This Poem by William Eke

Know This



What strength of will lay deep and hard
Keen to quench as invisible dew
Borne on wild blades of grass this thirst
For the glistening ripeness of your flesh;
Or calm reason rising stilling
Raging tempest of surrendered breasts?
Know this, grassland melts to desert
I remain far out bobbing at sea.
Know this, you are loved; dearly loved.

(Nigeria)
