Kebe Iwara Poems

There stood seven planets in solar ring
as pack of cards,
where the gamer's
hands had been, reshuffling.
...

1
Often i sleep
with saliva in my mouth
i purse my lip
...

None is a better
actor than truth.
So though they say
that some ingenuous
...

Two houses converged on a yellow wood
and there two neighbours stood-
the old occupant, the other just new
of the old yellow wood both took a view.
...

Oh moon.
oh moon! even with your silvery shoon
you are conceited
anytime i snick enclosed
...

Silence always plays discord:
the violin player was not heard
when he struck the chord.
He struck it on another's head;
...

And
death, you skip not a year
and so you come everytime a man were
older or were to clock a new age.
...

This motion against time!
And satisfaction the mark;
where i should brim the touchline
concentration eludes the heart, rhythm sidestepping the track
...
