                        Near Lagos, Nigeria




morning's sun dappled cat
comes to a lagoon to
lap at a saucer

sun soars

an illusion
                        your muse
her voice shivers like a flute
her call
                        A
                                    O

bass clef and treble clef of existence
trees breathe freely
canoes slowly pass

nearby   a village
only to go to
never to be from

at lagoon's edge
thoughts like mangroves bush
