WHERE I COME FROM
Agboola Abidemi Kaothar
Children dance
to the grumbling
of an empty stomach.
we steal smile's skin.
our parents become oceans
at the sight of the lakes
journeying down our faces.
We bathe
our fufu(s) with the aroma
of the stew flying
from our neighbour's Kitchen.
Our clothes are baskets
holding a myriad of holes.
Our girls kiss the soil and
wake up firewoods
with their voices.
Together, we are falling graces,
hunted, by hungry animals
