Mallam Madori

Mallam Madori leaves a damp question
in the mouth
on the tongue
and in the milky eyes of
that stranger swimming a dry sea
of endless thoughts

the sun is a firefly
the sun is a firefly
these trees are brown hypocrites--
nature's prostitutes
longing for the sky's short service:
a shallow season of green smiles
