The Terrestrials Poem by Olatunde Segun

The Terrestrials



When light vacates and sadness creep
Arise, the grievous murmuring of wandering toads
And the conjunct songs of imparted birds
Sways by in a grotesque shadows

Awon IYA! ! !
The scary birds with microscopic eyes
The who took malice the water
And take blood as holy communion
Their noxious captivating smiles
An earthquake of blessing

Ewo oo. (taboo)
If Ogberi sways around
Tell him,
His skull, a sacrificial cup
If the greatest hunter, hunt by
Tell him,
His blood, an ablution sacrament

The scary carcajou! ! !
Those whose flesh harbor at home
And their souls transcend abroad
Arrive not to my domicile

Agba! ! !
when elongated joy turn sadness
Ask the mothers
When dolefulness powdered the face
And the earth, a heaven hell
Ask the mothers
