Blowing Smoke by Nii Ayikwei Parkes ( After guardian)

 Blowing Smoke by Nii Ayikwei Parkes   ( After  guardian)



 She is cute, conscious, sensitive,

 Plays with bubbles in air

releasing her tension, and  

special imbibe  of fragrance 

from her floral bunch  hanging

on her shoulders; after all breath

to air,  a realization strikes,

“ we are mortals and guided

by sensations of time, ever 

throbbing like shores’ rhyme.



Every moment of love, every 

song by the mango tree, every

bunch of tender yellowish

flowers a beckoning to the 

world of play and cognizance,

there is another kind of game

stone throw by urchins from afar

where   sounds of fruits and leaves

falling, like a miracle from heaven,


yet love flows from all quarters

for us to feel, follow  and  be 

a part of the world veering in.
