POETRY BY ESTHYLOVELYN

Poetry,
    Your face
is a pillar of smoke.
Eyes blurred
Nose bleeding
A dog licking her paws.

Poetry,
   your heart
is in your mouth
you are
a screaming silence
a hot stuff.

Poetry,
    Your eyes
  is a bridge
under construction.
Your hands
a love shown
to a roasted man
 wishing for
dead stars.

 Your voice
at sunrise, a guilty lad.
At dawn,an innocent belle.

Poetry,
who taught you
 how to challenge
the status quo?
How to
throw punches
at gentiles and jews?
who  gives you a pat on the back
for jailing  them with your eyes?
which little bird
told you
she takes pills..
and he breaks bottles?

Poetry,
dont let them
abuse you
for telling the truth.
mothers offering babies for sacrifice.
Pretending to mourn
with panties on their heads.

Poetry,
Who said  you are  malnourished?
Your thoughts  mundane?
Relax at home with a drink.
Ain't you tired of speaking for them?
Creatures with burnt breasts
and wounded big toes?
If they believe
 there's  no justice in the jungle,
So be it.
After all, these people
 escaped insanity
by the skin of their teeth.

Poetry
You have convinced me
 that I was not
 conceived on bed.
 Now
I  know
 why my father's dinning table
lost one of it's legs.
Now
I know
why I love
shaking tables.

 Poetry,
dear poetry,
you are my universe
a blast from the past.
The black spot on my bum.
Of all my children,
you are the best of the bunch.

when i was a little girl,
I met a man from the north.
He introduced himself as failure.
blamed himself and fate.
for watching his family
starve to death.
Terrible thing!

I now have stronger hip bones.
know the difference between Editan and Afang.
how to swallow a hot potato
Bleeding has become normal for me.
I cried when I lost my grandma.
I still do.
My heart breaks when I see friends turn enemies.
But through all,
I discovered a worse fate.
Having no pen.
Having no voice.
