At The Cathedral Poem by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

At The Cathedral




At the Cathderal
one dusk,
the general image,
that of receding
glint of the sun's lair

The cupola of the basilica,
the basis of its strength;
the idyll-lined frames
for green verse

An idealist I may be,
but certainly no iconoclast

But at the cathedral
this dusk,
black talons of confetti
and silver coins
with the obverse faces of ex-convicts
besiege me.
