Gerald Onyebuchi Tongue Poems
- 1. 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.

Swiftly, slowly, it became our story.
