Poem by Arikewusola Abdul Awal

Your Attractive Heading

   “waves remember me well.” Emmanuel Oppong-Yeboah


Do not ask me who I am
’cause my tongue is tethered to darkness.
Father calls me his heir & mother; “my son.”
“This is my brother.” Aisha introduces me
to her beautiful black friend.

Is the moon also the sun?
Or is it the sun that breaks
Into scintillae we call stars?
I swallowed the air wind many times
& a tempest roils in my head
& calls me names I can’t pronounce
remember.

This body is a portrait of a sinking ship–
Hope is a fallen off keel I hold on to–
I drown in the quest of finding myself.
Only the Atlantic can tell me of my body;
Waves remember me well.

Adieu!

Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO?
I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but
I’m not seeing very good gains. If you know of any please share.
Appreciate it!

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive
a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now
destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely
off topic but I had to share it with someone!
