OF TREES AND BRANCHES

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

The mangrove trees hand too loosely
They have no hornbeam
Nor sad-looking birches
They bear broken ewers of red
Etched on canvass without Velasquez
If you ask me, frankly
I`ll say everything here below is jaded
And crustaceans are the same as daffodils.

WRONG WEATHER READINGS

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I love cream-coated cookies
And idyllic pictures of the pope
When the wind blows in cyclones
And we mistake latitudes for longitudes
Then stalactites also become stalagmites.
