The Other Woman by gbanikiti(m): 5:35pm On Aug 20, 2018 |
[center]The Other Woman Ibukun stood firm crying her eyes out beside his grave Wailing, covering her face with her scanty shawl trying to be brave He had promised her marriage but as a second wife His death has pierced her heart, like a dismantled knife He was to mark his 52 year birthday this December Ibukun was only 21 but true love knows no number They were three decades apart But true love crossed their ecstasy path As the six able bodied men lowered him six feet She removed the diamond ring and folded it in her fist Her eyes fixated on the casket Her memory reeled on Cornelius, how he bought her a gold bracelet As the priest voiced boomed across the microphone The cemetery was silent, we could hear an echoed tone A tone from a short, fat woman who was Cornelius’s wife He had 3 sons, Jacob, Eddie and Mike Ibukun knew his family and clubbed with his friends on Fridays He had invited her to his house to mark his 50th birthday She knew the rules, no trespassing around Jealousy pumped within her, she got up strutting in the compound Cornelius watched her peck a guy, flirted and how she was romanced The manner at which she rolled her gait and whined her butts as she danced Seduced every guy at the party and her body to behold She got drunk, nipples pointing, waiting for some erection to hold That night, wriggling beneath the bedsheets he poured his rage He took her without pre-intimacy, without kisses, and thrusted with rape With every moan he offered his heart She cried and cried yet there was no tag to hate As the grave was heaped with red soil and cemented Long after everyone had gone and departed She held her pregnant stomach crying and wailing Mourning another woman’s husband. Inspired from the story “Eyes do not lie” by Chioma Ngaikedi As composed by Doziem Nwaeze Doziem.nwaeze@outlook.com www.dozynwaeze..com [/center] [/center]
