Gabriel Eshun Poems

The mind of Sun smiles from the centre
The mind of Moon beams from the corner: they seek
Body to put on the Beam Bang to ensure a universality…
Moon says to Sun “you are hot” And Sun says
...

Let the gong-gong ring through
The living rooms of Canada Singapore New Zealand
Russia India El Salvador Poland China Botswana Switzerland
England Papua New Guinea Brazil South Africa
...

I dreamt I saw foams falling on the SunCongo…
I dreamt I saw the foams stimulating aberrant tributaries
I dreamt I saw their accumulations create neotributaries
I dreamt I saw the neotributaries escalate as scarletwaves
...

Nthu, nthu ne banwe (I am because you are)
A Bantu conception

Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly
...

Well Watered Remontant Roots
Would inherently make turgid a shoot
With desire to flaunt turbans
And turbans in a season: But I see
...

Sugar Cane; Truly
Unmodified in Genetic Constitution
Would ever store its future, where the Tongue’s
Crave for sugar Stops
...

He is STRONG
YES in Mind,
He is STRONG
YES in Body,
...

Dedicated to Abe.

I
When Nkrumah on Afadjato saw Kilimanjaro,
...

(A little argument spices up luv
And life now and then)

Widout women,
...

You look content like butterfly intoxicated by sun
Because the baby is sucking a nipple of bottle?
And your two fit milky blessing doing a covert observation
Is this something from colleagues...
...
