EREMITE POETRY

​OGUNRINDE VICTOR OPEYEMI

Miracle as a supposition in our body

How come afterwards we've etched the verses of
sanctification into our stony heart, with lurks of mucus slithering our nosehole/ to captivate God- healing
appears to be a pure conjecture in our body?
 
a boy squatted this question to his mother, then she reckoned: son,
I. salvation is as a contrail of a jet in the body of the blue sky / that the streaks of being saved is a shot in the dark to the flesh
 
II. how do you expect a heart of an interspersed thorny
acacias & daffodils to make a pretty garden?
yesternight, i watched you pray abreast the waxing moon;
O God, at the shore of every lake of prayers, make out pebblestones of hope.
 
Those prayers would only turn delicate on your tongue like the prattle tenses of a stutterer, if the shell of sin has carapaced you like a thick husk of coconut
