It was a good pleasure attending this class it was so worth it with host Adetola @TechSphereAcad
So much learnt and so much anticipation for the next class โจ๐โค๏ธ
Were they oceans
or only floods?
Did I mistake cages for cathedrals?
How many pieces of myself
did I trade away
to be called necessary?
And somewhere beneath the rubble,
a quieter voice survives
Even tenderness tastes metallic now,
like biting a coin.
Love became a hallway of mirrors:
every reflection almost human,
every doorway leading back
to the same locked room.
So I ask the ceiling questions
it refuses to return.
Now every sound arrives shattered:
a dropped glass,
a siren underwater,
the small animal noise of pain
caught in the throat.
My hands tremble
like leaves trying not to confess to the wind.
My stomach twists itself into rope.
โYou are the drought,โ they said.
โThe cracked earth beneath our feet.โ
โYou owe the sun for rising.โ
โYou were born in debt.โ
Their words nested inside my skull
like crows learning my name.
And memoryโ
memory became a house fire.
The body folds inward,
a tired bridge groaning beneath too many footsteps.
At night, sleep stands outside my window
but never enters.
Then the garden changed.
The same mouths that once carried honey
returned carrying knives wrapped in velvet.
So I became a well
everyone lowered buckets into.
They drank.
And drank.
Until my ribs sounded like empty rooms.
Now my veins drag like rusted chains underwater.
My eyesโfogged mirrorsโ
forget the shape of morning.
Memory Loss
They came dressed as lanterns in rain,
cupping small fires between their palms.
โRest here,โ they whispered,
like harbors calling to a ship split open by storms.
Their voices were blankets stitched from borrowed sunlight,
soft enough to make winter kneel.

If we plan something and when itโs time for execution you bail out
I wonโt get mad
I wonโt make you feel bad
Iโll execute it alone
But donโt ask for the next line of action though
