MY DIALOGUE WITH PLANTAIN ( POEM)
An Ode to Plantain My dearest plantain, Bereba, how could you forget how we both took care of each other ? The love we shared, the memories we've knit in mama's kitchen Your incomparable sweetness and ability to energise someone 6 to 6 still haunt me like the scars of Hiroshima and Nagasaki It's like a longing within In ripe or unripe moments, I adore your comforting strength and taste Your love I explore Fried, boiled, or roasted, your sweetness remains A flavorful solace soothing my always...
CONQUERED TEARS

SLEEP HAS BETRAYED ME
BETRAYED BY SLEEP Sleep, Sleep, you've betrayed my weary eyes And you made my heart not to trust time even in the darkest of hours Who can lend me their sight? Who can sell me their peaceful slumber?
