Flung myself across the frozen oceans of Enceladus, and
Watched my pain ripple across Saturn's rings,
Words written in my nucleus have begun to fade,
Lupine teeth have gnawed my wings
I am a little speck of dust in the Milky Way, the
Little ant of which earth's bird sing
I am lost in this reverberating continuum, a
Thousand splinters have left me a ding
Sheol's fingers have braided my fate,
Windows of conscience are stained with shame,
Like a punctured balloon,
a ruptured vein;
my lips are flaccid and frayed
- Olawale Ibiyemi
