The call of the river nun
I hear you call
I hear it far away
I hear it break the circle
Of these crouching hills.
I want to view your face
again and feel your cold
embrace, or at your brim
to set myself and
Inhale your breath; or
Like the trees, to watch
my mirrored self unfold
and span my days with
songs from the lips of dawn
I hear your lapping call!
I hear it coming through;
Invoking the ghost of a child
Listening, where river birds gail
your silence - surfaces flow
My river's calling too
It's ceaseless flow inpeos
My found' ring canoe down
Its in evitable course
And each dying year
Brings near the sea - bird call,
The final call that
Stills the created waves
And breaks into two the curtain
Of silence of my upturned canoe
O incomprehensible God!
Shall my pilot be
My unborn stars to that
Final call to thee
O my river's complex course?
One Night at Victoria Beach
The wind cones rushing from the sea,
The waves curling like mambas strike
The sands and recoiling hiss in rage
Washing the Aladuras feet pressing hard
On what only hearts can see, they shouting
Pray, the Aladuras Pray; and coming
From booths behind, compelling highlife
Forces ears; and cat lights startle pairs
Arm in arm passing washer - words back
And forth like haggling sellers and buyers
Still they pray, the Aladuras Pray
With hands pressed against their hearts
And their white robes pressed against
Their bodies by the wind; and drinking
Palmwine and beer, the people boast
At bars at the beach, still they pray.
They pray, the Aladuras Pray
To what only hearts can see while dead
Fishermen long dead with bones rolling
Nibbed clean by nibbling fishes, follow
Four dead cowries shining like stars
Into deep sea where fishes sir in judgement
And living fishermen in dark hits
Sit round dim lights with Babalawo
Throwing their souls in four cowries
On sand, trying to see tomorrow
Still they pray the Aladuras Pray
To see what only hearts can see behind
The curling waves and the sea, the stars.
And the subduing unanimity of the sky
And their white bones beneath the sand
And standing dead on dead sands,
I felt my knees touch living sands,
But the rushing wind killed the budding words
Suddenly
