POEM: THEY STILL LINGER AROUND ME BY IFEOLUWA PETER
my mum tags me a sinner on days I grab a beer,
emptying each cup with silence on contours of my skin.
i sew my thoughts like fabric and wear it on my head
my mum tags me a sinner on days I grab a beer,
emptying each cup with silence on contours of my skin.
i sew my thoughts like fabric and wear it on my head
it is how to let go of what won’t stay
because the night is a succour for broken boys
because these portraits hold names beyond our reach
