Ayoola Goodyness Olanrewaju writes


december

as you faint into the skin of the moon
writing the destiny of time and farewell
the beginning that must end with an end
the end that must begin an end to begin...

i see sore smiles break into the cheeks of your teeth
of the end in your end
of a piercing farewell and a crying wish to stay...

but mother is twelve enough for death
to birth new for silent suns and muted moons...

life for death
death for life...

this is no farewell dear december
you are the end that comes and goes...

this is not farewell but see you again
until my december no more...
