Olufunke Ayeni Biography

I must tell you

I am from the village, you know that one?
...

This poem is inspired by J.P Clark's poem
THE CASUALTIES.Though we do not speak
of the same casualties.
...

I have a love for you
that cannot show face in the light
It has to wait till the skies are dark
and the curtains drawn
...

I often wonder at my lack of strength
Lack of a basketful of other things
I say to myself "Funkeeeee wake up"
Be all the next girl is
...

I read a book tonight
It had your name written all over it
Àdé Àdé Àdé
...
