A Lover’ s Knife ( for Christie)

By Ezekiel Fajenyo

 

In the depth of night

you toured through my heart
with seductive songs
in exchange for my nakedness.
You enveloped me with
coloured lips and toothy smiles.

No palace has the resonance
of your throaty smiles.

At dawn,stretched beside me
was a raging python with red fangs and tears- faced fork!
