Martins Akhoeneto Poems

Say not a word and preach no more,
For all I saw were fleshly temptations
All arranged in grandeur of sagging figures
Figures like rotten bananas to its bunch,
...

Greenish, as robust pumpkin I was yesterday
Not knowing what fate could offer
To my molten body of smooth flowing dye
In the year of today, even a decade
...

Walls of today, walls of tomorrow
Same I gaze upon, twice in a dying second
Stand before me and tide and time lingers
Forming my companion; my gaoler.
...
