Mama’s Schedule

And the time cometh

whence Nyx abodes.   (need to explain the Greek mythological reference or expand on it)

bids Eos farewell

and sets out to work

Mothers sit in chaises,

chaste in their somber.

Gaze through a window

where their prayers float through

to fall on their bairn like feathers.                     ( find a way to make the the audience under)

hearts softly keening in bessech

like the Atom of adam’s pleas

on that cursed pride

and when the gates open

with relief trugged in dizzying euphoria

the scent of magnolia finally celebrates

and when Eos heralds,

her heart aches with sound

stallion dragging buggies

EHH  KHOON EKUN IYAWO (THE CRY OF THE WIFE

with drums and laugh, we walk

with pride

can you not here it ?

the Ehh in energy

the energy in elusive

the elusive in forever

the forever in a whisper

with song and merry,   traders nod

with satisfaction

can you not sea it?

the KHOON in festoon

the festoon in the lagoon

the lagoon in the loon

the loon in my rune

with sadness and joy,   we look

with share

this is hi and bye

cradle me against time

“Cuz We’re The SH**”
