Kate Hills Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Kate Hills



Many breaths took
Much joy gave
Many clasp shoulder
Many gazes got
Many hands held
Many smiles gave
Many applauds got
Many songs croon
Many records shatter
Many lips watched
Many flowers got
Many lies heard
Many hearts break
Many more stitched
Many sick cured
Many hungry fed
Many hearts change
Many lives save
Many travels take
Many ill flights fate
Many lives perish
Many fights gave
Many months bedridden
Many bandage face
Many teeth ruin
Many cry gave
Many tears got
Many prayers way
Many wars wage
Many ruin descend
No step can take
No word can say
No looks her way
No ring her door

Many bruises clean
Many nights wait
Much dirt wash
Much loneliness sprouts
Many stars rise
Many helped forgot
Many surgeries took
Many desert got
Many drugs throat
Many scars veil
Many mirrors shatter
Many nights pray
Many days tempted
Many dues pay
Many snub got
Many journeys took
Much travail contend
One choice left
One door escape
One potion gulp
One flower tomb
