The Birth Of Deluge Poem by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

The Birth Of Deluge



A fent in the huge, rain-blooded gourd
of heaven pukes Deluge and dirt
upon these lands...

Angry heavens spit violently
downward towards hidden collieries of
harlotry — accompanied by Deluge and
white rage — satins of gold-lined thrones
become whited sepulchral flags.
