Lampudesa
Looks
out to
Sea
And shakes
His head
The sea is a
Monster-of -Energy
As if Nago Shango unleashed
The Petro from their watery Graves
Or Poseidon
Unleashed the
Kracken
Or the Calm
before a
devastating
Tsunami
Reluctantly
He knows what to do
And walks slowly back
Across the
Sinking sands
To his
Village
He calls a gathering of the
Elders
In the municipal
Timber
Hut
They agree and
Gather
400
of
There
Own
Virgins
Boys
Men
Women
Girls
Babies
Between the
Ages
22-44
400
In total
Are ripped screaming from their
Beds
By their
Neighbours and Friends
The Nigerian Women
Remain on the
Sands
Provoking magic
With
Awagawe
Their Magic
This Dancing
Evokes
The gaze
Of
GanGan
And whilst
There
Little Boats
Compete with the
Waves
Prayers and Chanting
Aboard can be heared
Fading slowly away
The devil has been cast-out
And the waves plateu
In response
GanGan
Seems
Appeased
And the villagers
Hed back to there village
To
Mourn
Looks
