1967 Near Lagos:
for Mogens Brynjolf
Walking to the Sea
a hot day in motion
slight breeze among palm trees
wearing shirt no tie
a hut
slight breeze among palm trees
wearing shirt no tie
a hut
on a fringe of beach
between forest and ocean
swamp lagoon
suckling her baby
between forest and ocean
swamp lagoon
suckling her baby
silhouetted against gloom inside
that one
roomed hut
imagine
her embrace
so warmly she unveils
watchful brown
green eyes
in her womb
a man might gauge
a longing for
another child
so warmly
she smiles
green eyes
in her womb
a man might gauge
a longing for
another child
so warmly
she smiles
such as
he
lonely walking from Yaba Tech
on his way to the sea
on his way to the sea
