COSMIC ISLAND

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

There’s a tiny lake nearby
It protrudes like the hanging gardens of Babylon
It isn’t the Barombi or the Nyos
Neither is it the journeyman of Hindustan.

But it’s all defined by Hornby
And confirmed by politician scientist Dr. Baninlon
The place is a replica of the cosmos
And it makes me dream of the horsemen of Tajikistan.
