WHEN A POET WEARS A CIRCLET

When a poet wears a circlet o’er his neck
It could mean it’s a downbeat
It could also mean that he wants that restrictive aim that has been willed for him to claim; he is in his musing period and he is in darn need of someplace cozy to scribble
So in want to evade distractions
He creates a comfortable porch in the guise of nods, and moderately flees into introspection each time he gets an opportunity, and dashes back – in milliseconds, when there’s a call for response.

And when he’s caused to shram
Even with every try he’s made to think deep
He’ll be shamed within
But he’ll put on a sham;
Looking so occupied
So juiced up
But at that point he could leave you abashed, and plea he needs to get home; that he needs to get prepared for tonight.

And that tonight! He’ll let his mind wipe off charades. He’ll swing into that very thought that puts him in seclusion. That coat of tumultuous feeling that imps his mind and fetters his stride.

Tonight He’ll be his own muse, which muses bemusement. He’ll shed slimy, reeling liquids that root its ills on tracks it makes on his face; making wave to his chin, rather than tears seeking thrills or enthrall.

The morose cascades has been his convenience –
Being solitary is like lyrics sung to him
So he would desert life – that there’s chunk in dearth.

He believes, and under his breathes and will
With all verve, that even after that night, as long as he wears the circlet – lone he will still be; leering to its lures and oddities
Solitude has always ossified him.

# 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
