Temitope Adebowale Biography

With the gaint's gaits wobbling,
tilting till he falls.

to announce the fall of an Iroko.

When I'm gone, what will be said about me
When my eyes are closed, my body motionless; no breathe in me.
When I no longer make decisions myself, when all I see (or not) is eternity,
will it be said that:
...

The beast in me is dead, but that is the least of my problem

To attain immortality

They envy every breathe, every flesh, every mortality of ours
For being immortal can tire a soul
Things never get more beautiful or better for them
...

After a day that was full of tease
Fueling our ecstasy
Threatening to make our cherries bloom
