Three Curious Spectacles – A Poem

By Baba Galleh Jallow

 

He threw beauty upon him

And limped away

After he had shared of his heart

And walked off

In search of beauty

 

* * * *

 

He sits

Chained to a pillar

That itself has no shoulder

Upon which to cry

That itself could only stand

On its single leg

Awaiting fate

 

* * * *

 

The wooden tiger

Glared from the page

At the real tiger

As if to say

What to do bro?

 

Ends
