Heresiads Poem by Shola Balogun
Heresiads
Abraham...Ra...Ham
I kissed the navel of the night.
The chalice of sprouted stalks of bitterleaf,
Damp from the drunken earth,
Gained my lips and left my tongue
Unspent in an impetuous reserve.
I do not stay my hand on the omelette.
Obatala...Bata...Ala
Wolves weaving webs with woods:
It pleased me more to spew
Crushed roots on the languid brows
Of the base statuary on the stone pines.
