My Father's Wife Poem by David Olughu

My Father's Wife



She emits a powerful aura.
Her night wails;
high pitched, yet inaudible,
as she mutters words to her deity on my behalf.
She lets out a soft pat on my back,
with drips of tears cascading down her cheeks.
One by one,
tap after tap,
each drop grace's my skin,
sending demons haywire to depths unseen.
She reeks of power;
she's my father's wife.
