IF THIS IS A MAN I: THE WIFE'S TALEA Poem by Chinedu Ubah
Night is bringing down the curtains on day
My husband is late, as usual His meal is getting warm, as usual This is getting usual, I must say I know where he is at the moment Shredding off his youth with younger beauties Paying them for my usually free bed-warming duties Casting me aside likea worn out garment He wasn't like this before; When he uprooted me, from my family's garden that morning. Is this that same man I left my family for? And now am just a tool for child conception. As the clock arms gather, at twelve, in matrimony, I once again come to the conclusion; He isn't coming home for dinner. © 2015 Chinedu Ubah |
