My Lower Lip Hangs Open Poem by Sarah Mkhonza

My Lower Lip Hangs Open



This act surprises my jaded self,
For when I toddled into life,
I looked forward to a table set
With golden fork and knives,
Only to be told to eat dinner with
Rusty spears.

I swallowed hate,
And spat out blood,
For such is the world
We live in.
