Samuel Oluwatobi Olatunji and Ruth Zakari

S:

Burn burn burn

Into a splash of ashes, and your smoke

Rising towards heaven like spiral supplicating hands



R:

Brave brave brave

How the tiny sparks of this lit demon’s cough

Reason to light the way to its heaven


S:

Break break break

Break into fleshy fragments

And let the fire burn the firewood of your flesh

It’s time for a flight into heaven’s flat



R:

Breathe breathe breathe

In the eerie seduction of death

Crumbling walls into carcasses

Making noon from night

How miasmic a dance of fright!



S:

Bare bare bare

Bare the muddy map of your body

Let the night beyond your nudity

Let death be lost in this dance of unclothedness



NB: Poetry Play is a game in form of poetic dialogue for every poet on BBM. It is a game of two poets: one drops a line or more, and the other replies, flowing along until one of them gives up. Every poem formed from this game will be published here (penastory.com) every Friday. So poets, are you ready to play? If yes, contact Samuel via BBM: 7f5210ec
