east london poet – Another Fly On The Wall

Body Over Mind by Eli Oko

I have aunties I have buried
And now I’m trying to find the time

…stand still and let it find you.

A man of Silver is what she needs
And what I dripped just lays beneath
Reflecting all I couldn’t be.

I dream that Birds have been taking notes of us
And now the roles reversed.

“I wrote this a while ago… and the truth is we are nearly at 24.”

about the lovers that we’ve held
all is fair in love and poetry
If there is something I know well.

But nobody can tell.

I can see now
I can feel now
Yes I truly taste your citrus buds.

six feet deep.

The first poem on the Blog for 2018. I was silent but I was still telling you all something very important.
