SNAKE
Okechukwu Onuegbu

Shelter lip-hole free, door bolted
As sun kisses earth Sunday 25/01/09
While cartooning outdoor
Majestically a Guest room
My gidan kwanu uninvited
High tabled as Chief Guest of Honour
Jogging room to bucket my soaked clothes
I pictured golden eight fit taperule soldier
Big as electric pole
Coiling, hissing, twisting as a thread
Ambushing my zinc-wall cartons
Silence slammed my door
I toss to tune door-by-aid
We weapon the venomous Guest
But who message my Guest?
Could it have graved me?
Flourish my brain
