 Near Lagos



morning's sun dappled cat
comes to the lagoon to lap 
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
