NAIJA POETRY: Night Rain By John Pepper Clark by NaijaphiliaBlog: 1:24pm On Dec 18, 2021
NIGHT RAIN

What time of night it is
I do not know
Except that like some fish
Doped out of the deep
I have bobbed up belly wise

From stream of sleep
And no cock crow
It is drumming hard here
And I suppose everywhere
Droning with insistent ardor upon

Our roof thatch and shed
And through sheaves slit open
To lightning and rafter
I cannot quite make out over head
Great water drops are dribbling...
