A Piece of Hell

With a combination of howl and groan, he roared like a wounded lion. His cry was loud but all ears were deaf to it. Butt-naked, his penis half-dangled with blood dripping all over it. His balls weren’t spared either, and the sight reminds me of spoilt tomatoes. Even before he was lit, the air had […]

A Day At The Salon

I have heard it all. Tales of going to Dubai, the one that’s in the corner of their rooms. Gists of the party they last went. Stories of their neighbors who are never of good character. The talk of the drunk husband and battered wife.They always share sad stories, stifling their necks and still finding […]

The Broken Tale

The Broken Tale Today, let’s gather under the àràbà Not for the tricker tales Nor for the secret tales of the ghost land It isn’t time for the tall tattle of tortoise Send message to Oníbàtá Today,there would be no dance Only words from the hurt Message for the wise I bind the color Let […]

Smile That Drains

‘Blinded by my perfection Choked on my rightfulness My plead will please her But I wouldn’t say it In a flicker She slipped away Never to return again Because I couldn’t say it Eight characters I hate Two words too burdensome Difficult as the Greek puzzle— I’m sorry The rehabilitative power of the clause ‘I’m […]
