Them Sex Semesters. Poem by Tazviona Ngwena

Sexual hormones plead for liberty
In magical dancehall decibels and sweetness of spiced chicken,
In experimentation with Mary-Juana
Confusion of virgin minds.
Ignition of adrenaline and testosterone,
Creation of sacred thirsts
Under sheets in darkest hours,
Sexual hormones then celebrate.

In sweetness of confusion,
In sweetness of ignorance,
Nation’s most intelligent
In loss to sexual hormones’ battle
Quenching nature’s evil thirsts,
In golden cups of civilisation and freedom
Efforts to carry swollen breasts in jelly state
At the end of a sublime semester.
