I came across an image

I came across an image
by the afternoon stream

Sweeping across
With fine lining
Woven with tender silk

Spotted by the sun
That travels european cities

Gathering fingers
into delightful beauty

Foaming incessant glories
Sliding into the evening’s duty

It speaks to me
in my local speech

(Ewa pejo, okan duro
Otetisi, owo funfun lori okun)

(Beauty gathers, heart wait
And listens to,
the pure hands upon the stream)

The gentle caress
of the mortal liquid

The pieces saw light
In the muddy, salivary paint
And the stream gave heart
Its enriching gift

MO.
