NON BELIEVER by Uchenchukwu Onyedikam

The dark hour of the liberty bell —

a test-strike with a blunt force

cracked her brittle face.

With blood stained lips

she spits on my grave.

Like a black cat I’ve gone out to haunt

the night, braver in my own skin, seeing

no evil, dreaming like a possessed witch

night by night, what a black thing!

Your love out of my mind yet your

flames bites on my erection and

breaks the wheels of my heart.

This broken creature you know is

always misunderstood for a believer,

a thousand times of the ups and downs

you’ve failed trying to rearrange

his mind, for you are not that kind

raised by fire and brimstone to ride

in his cart — her body opened, believing.

Treading on a believer’s foot is a journey

and a destination mapped on her body

that allows you to trace your ground

and dig your own shallow grave.

I’ve retrieved the locks that they

dread I don’t believe her… curves!

And the beauty of the place my

hands have played with there.

And we both know that I’ve rendered

self to awakening upon this mountain

where God of the golden magical wand

inhabits with all good and evil dispositions.
