To The Angel Of The Night

Hey you angel!
You angel of the night.
Hear the echoes of my voice,
And the reverberation of my wailing.

To quench that destructive revel
Beneath your skirt.
And to clad
Those two hills
Ahead your chest.

For they are symptoms of woman
Born of decency.

Not to be converted by you whore,
To symptoms of obscenity,
That Caresse soul to purgatory.

Hey you angel,
You angel of the night I cry,
That you should return
From your abominable-hood
To the hut of woman born of decency,
Like a prodigal daughter.

And clad your shameless acts,
With reticent and courtesy,
Like a cat.

For beauty exposed,
Is no beauty at all.

For the beauties of beauty,
Lies in decency,
And not in waywardness.

This is an epistle,
With one edge,
For you angle,
Of the night.

# FICTION # SURVIVAL ========== “I can’t just stand here and watch you die,” Nkechi said, her voice laced with deep emotions. “I must go and find help.” There on the floor, in the small hut, was her dying mother, shivering. She had been like this some days now, but now it seemed to be getting worse. The lamp that sat at the center of the hut, lighted the room poorly, but was enough to make the beads of silvery sweat on her mother’s face shimmered. “My daughter!” her mother called, her voice lowering into something like a whisper. “What kind of help do you mean?” Ever since her father died mysteriously, she and her mother had lived like strangers in the village. People heard and believed a lot of lies about them. Some believed that her mother had used her witchcraft on her father, while some believed that the gods of their land had placed a curse on them. There were recent cases of goat disappearances at the time and the Chief priest with the consent of the King had placed a cur
