Ibadan invited me
...and I came,
enchanted,
into its
troublesome embrace
a non-Mesiogo:
my legs ached
my brain throbbed
my hair greyed
my loins flourished
and still Ibadan held me
in its troublesome embrace
It's more than a score years already
more than the life time
of most meaningful affairs
Is it still morning yet
in this romance?
I am a non-Mesiogo
yet Ibadan embraced me
