A Mine

Everything is tired
That is tired
It's what our bones have become
Eaten with might by termites
Nananom themselves warned

Togbui, Nii, all added a warning
They echoed our life; we said ours is new
They have seen: this thing that is new
They boomed a warning
Themselves.
Cassava-sticks-wrapped-doomed-to-earth
Ourselves.
That flesh.
Our bone a warning to our flesh
