There are too many things In my heart For which I don’t have words - Some are chains, some are wings, Some please, some hurt, Some are shields, some are swords. All are a part of the challenge in me, Hurting me, holding me, healing me. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
self-knowledge
UNDERSTANDING YOURSELF
A man searches for
The man in the mirror
A woman searches
For the
Woman in the water
A man will stand his ground
A woman will wet her ground
I don’t understand gender roles
But I understand tender truths.
– Che Chidi Chukwumerije.
WINDOWS AGAIN
The same song, the same gong
The same sound
It is all bound up in the same one
Concept –
I conceptualise, I discover, I am, I am not
I conceptualise, I know, I know not, I grow
A bell opened up and let out a melody
Ten thousand Songs, memory.
– Che Chidi Chukwumerije.
