The simplest things can turn hard All of a sudden and for no reason Other than you made a small error Of judgment in the easy season. The hardest things can become easy All of a sudden and without effort Simply because you change your perception Because mentality is a form of transport. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
hard
ROUGH FRUITS
I need everything
And I need dearth
I squeeze the leaven
To open the girth
My hour is eleven
Narrow, not straight
Rough sun having
Your fun on my mirth
When you burn my raven
Rekindle my hearth
I need Heaven
But I also need Earth.
