The Acolyte
The Splash of her milk Bakes an innuendo With the bolt of the Dodan
an innuendo of fear fear of sorrow sorrow of death
Tears for lovers lost and lives snuffed For destinies reconstructed For raped soul of Old men
Blind to the Sanskrit On an esoteric thread of deceit She is embraced With sanguine speed
By shadows of noon, on her brooding banks She ensnares all to her grapevine, Of death Laying wreaths of bleached roses entwined With the cheer of red mushrooms On every digit Which in a fury of Lagosian rush Bathed in the milk of her bosom --- her acolytic canal of death
