Come to me
in three folds, the way
all good things come.
Come to bed, touch me
with fingers crisp as mint,
feed me with gold kisses
—supper of milk, steak & wine.
Come to me with warmth
of light, wealth of water
& affluence of air.
Come to me
as answers to morning
prayer—owó, ọmọ, àlááfià.
-Jide Badmus.
