The Tree
Martins Iyoboyi
Stately leviathan in force
Snappy against moony advent
Glossy phases replete of brightness
Perpetually buffeted.
He simulates, deafening order
Possessing a twang, sensuous
That antiquated countenance stooped
Soulless beings of ill-bred reason,
A fleck did enlighten,
Seeking adventurers on mirror-flow
Flaming ambition caressing
What dynamic resources
Augmented conviction to explore
The pith of that conference,
Dividing blood from blood,
Ideas from reality,
Blackman from Blackman.
