last night's dream
thought
to be a nightmare
proved to be
a dreadful revelation
testing
these treacherous
times...
fisherwomen
of peace and love
cast their nets
into a boko haram
sea
hauling in
blood-stained
webs
seahorse skeletons
&
water-logged black dolls
that now lay
rotting...rotting
atop sacred ancestral
burial grounds:
all oblivious
to a preoccupied world
obsessed
with lottery numbers...
