**Waiting**

Waiting for!  
Labyrinths of desert landscape  
Where owls hoot from dusk to dawn  
The hope of the lily go gay in the wind  
Sprawling to fate of death and dry  
When mortals shuffle in hunger pangs  
In search of fruit from chlorophyll

Waiting for!  
Night awake in search of dawn  
When the cock crows  
To the time voyage of time  
When the new born wails  
To a welcome into pains  
For the earth is all blurred and gloom  
To lavish expectations of darkness and night

Waiting for!  
The rays of hope eternity  
When the balloon of gloom  
Bursts into a discharging sore  
Of many sweet grapes!  
Then agony with pride  
Waiting ripples of the rising sun  
Waiting!

**Night**

Trapped in nature’s superhighways  
To commune with night in Ekpeke  
Where the wild is awake in awe  
When fight and death  
Freeze in blocks of nothingness  
When the unknown marries the subconscious  
And sinister sisters stage a play  
Riding the range of spirits immortal  
When hell is loose on planet earth  
For vulnerable mortals to watch in fright  
And seek divine guidance at dawn

Agents of darkness plow and harvest  
The devil’s Adams apple  
Which denied mortal man  
The glory and perfection of paradise  
Turning our day into nightmares  
Night!

“Waiting” and “Night” were written in 1996 in Nigeria.
