Under baobab tree,
Did you come for me
Looking to love me into eternity
To venerate me like ancestors
All my words and curves
Love me like forever were equivalent words
Under the cover of a solid blue night
Did you bring me into the still- your human love light
Did you take me under the uncertainty of your wing
And pray my love be the anchor of everything
Or did you come for me
In dressed-up defeat
And hope I’d be a distraction so sweet
Reduced to curve without words to write
Invisible by day and ever present at night
Did you come for me to meet with fate
Or did you force its hand
Your appreciation for love
still in wait….
Did you…
