POETRY: DEATH By Bridget Olufunmi by Papzey(f): 10:32pm On Apr 29, 2017 |
Scared! A whistle slips through the hole And becomes a breath Everything becoming unusual Like everything that takes credit for fear! Sun melting the cloud Sky deserting her home Far above, a bunch of galaxies dangles Hanging on threads of polite winds Sun and moon perching upon roofless skies Dangling simultaneously with the stars Shadows deserting bodies Silhouettes gaining sinews Nightfall fleeing downwards Days becoming like brick houses Refusing to break No times no seasons Stars jingling like church bells Fear!!! Of sun loosing her grips and crashing We will all burn. burn! Round d world, skies are walls And inside, are dark hollow holes A crossing over is death She stands akimbo Veiled in d apparel of snow The wind smoking a pipe billowing dusts Star kissing her lover, striking a fire Igniting a kaleidoscope of lightning Of crimson n blue flames and sulfur A sound escapes from the hole Rising and suspending Like the striking of bare feet upon pedals A whistle slips through the hole And becomes a breath It was death, breathing her last.
