Analysis of BODY TISSUES
Ifumi Ehigiator 1000 (Nigeria)
A cloudless day is like
A bandage wrapped too tight.
No iota of pain can this, describe.
No room for air to soothe
the soft, bruised, bleeding tissues.
Gloom sits on the cheeks of noon.
Evening hastens the moon
Who appears all too soon.
All in a haste to deduce
The pain, emanating from the bandage fastened like skin
Over the body tissues.
All in a haste to deduce
The pain, emanating from the bandage fastened like skin
Over the body .
