Poetry Play #3 by Abisoyee(m): 10:34am On Jan 15, 2016 |
http://penastory.com/2016/01/15/poetry-play-4/ 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 Don't Read Alone, Share With Your Friends and also visit www.penastory.com
