The Summon
I heard the summon, The sound was tiny and strong; I found myself in the abyss; So I drift along, So black as the pit, My ears flaps like the hare, its thickness fiercely bites, So I heard the clicking snare; The gods provoked, While Clansmen despaired; The rulers stole again from the coffers, The gods declared! Three cowries were amiss; Of a bone, brass and brick; Their lips left of the crimson stains, Dwindling light, so gone the wick. #writersofinstagram #poetry #poem #olorunlekepoems #writerscommunity
