My Tongue Lost Its Potency
written by: Odebode Tayo
Is it just a feeling
Or the real happening
But my dear mouth
Lost its potency
Like the horizon
Covered in thick cloth
Of morning icy fog
My mind is muddled
I feel like
I’m living in a dream
Perhaps life is a dream
Portrayed in a stage of reality?
I see life
Whipping fleeting
Like the whiz of wind
Assaulting my tender ears
I see the bottom
Standing imposingly
Atop while the head is
Buried in soil of civilization
I see abnormalities
Seizing the power
From the loose clutches
Of the usual normality
Many anomalies
Taking the stage
Performing with impunity
While humans sit ‘n watch
Yet I can’t
Salvage the itches
Spread out on my tongue
While I writhe in discomfort.
