NKPORO III by Johnchizoba(m): 12:05pm On Jan 18, 2019 |
NKPORO III Home is where the wine is Don't tell me of those songs unsung Father died without saying his last name And Amaka stopped his music after reading The lyrics that flowed in &out from his radio His flower. His photograph. His bags. She moved to the shrine of his grave... Here Nkporo birthed him through a number Of waning memories molestating fate... Nkporo can't be forgotten so soon That ancient land holding rivers on high places. Tell them that we no longer breed ghost Tell them that we gathered the skulls of Our ancient history on the mountain in Agbala the spirited road that leads to our home no longer hurts legs... & Nkporo has become a woman of many colours. © John Chizoba Vincent #TheSage. |
