Gerald Onyebuchi Poems

• In The Rain
  In the rain,
  Where laughter and frown smeared our faces
  As the pomegranate failed to bud.
  And with shuddering kneels we carried the basket of uncertainty home ...
• You Have Crossed The Rubicon
  I was a young vine with leaves until you turned me into a pine.
  A flowing river, then you seared me into a desert
  I was the dazzling sun, a cynosure of many eyes, until you raped me of my iridescence.
  The pride of many men, until you smeared me with lust. ...
• It Became Our Story
  Like a fable that never left the table were the
  Words of the prophet
  Swiftly, slowly, it became our story.
  ...
• Raped Future
  I see a dysfunctional future
  Wailing in hunger. Many tongues scrabbling for a single bone
  Living corpses pile the street.
  I hear soothsayers boast in their ignorance and claim a stolen future ...
