Invocation Of Rain Poem by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Invocation Of Rain



When laughter comes between
the red gums of drought,
there's fire.

It smoulders consciences and
begrudges sempervirence amid
scorching petals of ancestry.

In this, heathens thrive eloquently,
increasing their laughter in the faces
of apostates
whose prayers dampen,
whose manners become unmethodical,
whose frantic cries bring forth froth
from mouths that spurt Halleluiah.
