Shittu Fowora

featherage of the interim

All it takes

for me to fall

into an equation

and endure mortality

like a life-sentence

is a string

of words and I come,

undone

I touch the moment

by light words,

I test it by the featherage of the interim

my lantern invents

an idea of strength

it draws in air for inspiration

Densities and words

lyrically erase my eyes

and I am a punctuation

drenched in words.
