Like Expectant Nobelists by PIPROM(m): 5:22pm On Sep 30, 2010 |
We gather again Like we gathered last season To wait return of wine bearer. Drenched with sweat of expectation We sweat in anticipation. Our minds nibble at expectation of wine Like minds of expectant Nobelists Nibbling at expectation of laurel. Season after season Wine bearer from far land Return for merriment On mother’s nudity, Made nude by our hands. Wine bearer soon Will saunter across father’s obi Into mother’s unwilling crotch. We, Offspring of denuded motherhood Will scramble to drink from wine gourd. We swallowed messages of Moses, Charades of chastity, We swallowed holy hogwash. We will swallow again Liquor from far land, We will sleep after. We will wake Clutching Gourd of sour wine. By Chidi Anthony Opara Source: http://www.chidianthonyoparapoems.blog.com |
