SALT

Your love was most present
In my life’s soup
When you were quietly absent

Your sea is a strong wall
Too deep, too intense, too wide
I don’t want it all

A pinch of you
On my flaming restless tongue
My dear, will do

You salivate my secret cult
With your infrequent invisible visits
Like salt.

– Che Chidi Chukwumerije
