Nigeria Poem by Obodokasi Ade'etem Agbor

I touch her feet, I freeze
I touch her palms, I freeze
I kiss her lips, frost, like ice in between teeth.

I touch her neck, I burn
I caress her thighs, I burn
I nibble at her nipples, huge mountains of fire

I climb her body, I am pricked
I roll to her south, thirsty rivers
I roll to her north, drowning deserts

I look in her eyes, my heart leaps into the Atlantic
And drowns
I breath in her ears, my lungs waste away

I love you, I love you to Venus and back
I love you, I love you to the sun, and oh I am burnt,
Nigeria, your love makes me sick.
