THE GENDER OF STARS

They say Frenchmen know
the gender of things—
things inanimate, abstract, material, anything

 “AFTER” A POEM WRITTEN BY WALE OWOADE

After lightning comes rain.

I will go looking for shadows

in their honeymoons. One day

there would be no sky, only

a silhouette searching for itself.

When I am tired of searching

for proof that God exists, I will

pour ashes inside a glass and ask

the moon to smile. This is what

the war left me: a slightly burnt

tongue—a room made from

a broken dirge—a graveyard

in a churchyard—a lone bird with

a bone for a twig—a two legged

dog—fresh ashes waiting to

be named—prayers starting

and ending with ‘ex’—a window’s

jaw dropping at the sight of a city

eating itself. Even when am

lonely I can’t save the world.

When I will begin to heal,

I will rust. I will say

once there was a war, maybe

a love. After rain comes sun,

I will go searching for

a grave with my name on it.

Written by  Wale Owoade
