Something crimson, Something soft – Olobo Ejile
Photo Credit: Etsy.com Something crimson, Something soft You pedal me out of this noisy universe; you take me to a place of crimson silence, where nothing fades, where nothing dies. You teach me how to move with the wind, how to fly, seamlessly— fluffy as troubleless feathers. I have learnt to depart this world through silence, and return as though I never left. I am cradling our love because it is what I think I deserve. Contributor’s Bio Olobo Ejile, a Nigerian poet, writer, and researcher.
