MARGINS<br />
battle down.<br />
by Adetoye Samuel<br />
Forged in a trivial season,<br />
I set out on a mission,<br />
Out of the field,<br />
To seek a truth.<br />
Birds cloud the sky,<br />
Turning a bright day into a night,<br />
The swarm to and fro,<br />
In a manner i couldn’t depict.<br />
Something was wrong.<br />
Unseen,these arrows came,<br />
From a bush far from the spot i lay,<br />
Many as uncountable,<br />
That seems to cluster.<br />
I dodged many, fighting with a stand,<br />
Fought the challenges that could take my life.<br />
Just then from a mist in the air,<br />
That arrow came and struck me in the shoulder.<br />
I found it so hard to orient myself,<br />
As shards of pain detonated along,<br />
In the spot matted with blood.<br />
I felt i had lost,<br />
In sorrow,world and the battle spot.<br />
Kneeling on my knees,<br />
As a sign of weakness.<br />
The birds watching my pains,<br />
Rejoice so wrenched,<br />
In their dark circle of interest.<br />
