Advent of strange
sign on forehead was asking
for the laughing eye.
A cessation of
botched therapy was a need.
God was still alive.
The birth pangs
were becoming stronger
with every fall of trust.
The gravest thing
was the love of moon.
It keeps you smiling.
A triplet of four stanzas. Well written piece. Thanks for sharing! Sylva-Onyema Uba.

I would like to translate this poem
The skin is the film scrim of manna. Break from continuous adulation, the baby must attach. Must make of itself a butterfly with eyes upon the wings. I smell the stain of sunlight hidden in the cool green grass under the tall trees with fronds like feathers.
