“EFUE (Ivy)” by Badmus Jubril

I once watched an ivy

die from too much sunlight

the way god watches his

little sullen creatures die

like lemmings falling

off a marigold sky. 

Behind the cross; there 

are ciders who ache

from flailing:

Too much of the world

is really a tug at 

prosperity and how

hard your cock can rise. 

 

Dirt littering my palms

like residue of small

salvations. In the uppity

north an old chum’s

hair fall off     one

by

one

like the trees’ dying resistance

 

The ferns in the greenroom

 are gaudy from orgasm.
