OLANIKE
O—pen sesame!!! I
scream
L—oose this knot and
loose the sun
A—nd coil your
tongue like the
serpent on a pole
N—ights, you may
feast to yield
light;
I—llumining always;
thawing us, thawing
me
K—nitting discords
to sweet harmony
E—arth will not last
a day without you
sun!!!!
For Olanike,
obviously………………….and
those white melon
seeds
