Death Toll
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
It rises daily
On frontiers held hostage by death.
Piling up upon putrescence, alcoholic
Senescence regroups on formaldehyde,
Posting fumes on wreckages here and
Elsewhere among a frazzled earth.
Rashes develop on the skin of death,
Mangled by atomic leverage borne by
Lesions – scarred and bandaged on
White-and-blood crepes.

Then barefoot I climb to the balcony railing,
Diving into clear green waters as birds sing!
Sunday Paper

Sunday rises gallantly from behind
Distant clouds, orange, on the wall
Of low, chintzy, tepid skies.
Bells sound with tamed decibels
Through tiny holes on top cupolas of
Rounded, gilded cathedrals to welcome
A yellow day that reclines on the edge
Of the week. Sunday salutes the spunk
