YES IT RAINS - By Ogunyomi Israel Abidemi
(RE: "I THINK IT
RAINS", BY WOLE SOYINKA.)
The sky clears his
throat,
Stamps sticky sputum
Upon the chest of the
mountain.
Agbeko* whimsically
retorts,
Washing that impetuous
insult
Down the brows of the
valley
With a stream of
gushing granites;
Before the drowsy dawn
opens
His eyelids, yes, it
rains.
*Agbeko is a mountain
in Ikosin, Ifelodun LGA, Kwara State, Nigeria.
