BENIN By Eddie Awusi
BENIN Yawning out, A bronze of ancient dawn, Bustling and buzzing with life, Like a swarm of bees; Awkwardly awakened, In Ozolua moat. Bellowing; With spiralling sinews of smokes: Crawling sheepishly. ascending; From Iduh Owina to the hearths of Ekhiadolor; Into the naked ivory of the sky. And zealous feets; Meandering carelessly; Negotiating steps, at the fringes; And coughing locomotives; Bursting like raucous Mushrooms on fertile soil - on the roads. Eddie Awusi lives in Benin city where he runs a small personal business. He has a degree in English literature. He has been published in Dandelions in a Vase of Roses, Voices of the Aspirants, FM 20 among other poetry anthologies.
