LOST METEOR STARS BY TAYO TALEY
For the school children that lost their lives on an Abuja highway . Sighs falling down my face, my wrinkles quaking like broken walls, my hairs are stretched like pines, bumbs building on my skin & obstructing the waves of my sweat, . the tv screen painting the walls of of my room with images of children that kissed the dust on an highway road of Abuja . Their ghosts are seeking asylum somewhere in my eyes, the speakers are wetting my ears with blood, carrion has taken its toll, it's building a nest on their bodies with its beak, its bald head is a wall where the children's names are plastered, its wings are ready to spread their carcasses in the wind... . the moon is crescent tonight, like the shape of a curved sword, I remembered holding the full moon on a platter of idioms, memories are waiting to ferry the crescent moon into my hands. . DEATH!!! Vengeance is coming on the day of reckoning where shadows will fight back to repay for the tears yo
