Odoh Okenyodo Poems

What will a shrine do without its priestess?

The Fadama Goddess is a star
Shaped like an empty bottle
...

See your name; it rings a bell
No. It rings a finger. Nearly there.
But it rings my heart
It wrings my heart
...

Easter sits around the corner, her face sad
Unaware of when exactly was Christmas
Which was the season of the meal she last had
she lived on the Anti-Hunger cream
...
