Images (47) Poem by Orike Didi

Images (47)



an egyptian king arises,
his foot becomes the metre;
statues, statuettes fall
shadows bend into oblivion.

his huge, still calf arises
at the high gates
the valley is splashed
with his mouth-foam.

he drinks self brewed wine
begins to stagger on the hill
before threatened eyes
chained to the slaughterhouse.
