Koroba
(Dedicated to dear cousin Iposu Sallamah, and all
girl children around the world)
Koroba
You shall
often peel the fabled halo
On your
lash, trail the heart among darker
Ripples
your bowing runnels bring:
Deft
tides they yield, of suppleness to time,
Toss
charm to the air as shearwaters
The
friendless surfs.
You shall
often peel the fabled halo
