ODE TO THE OLD by Ogunyomi Israel Abidemi

A thousand eyeballs in a single socket
Busty boughs without roots
Balanced feet on the wind’s cleavage
A flocked farm without plants
A crowded market with no marketers
Familiar birds with strange twitter
Rappers of two hundred rappers
Whose edges touch not the earth
Masticators of the arm with the cranium
Chewers of the liver with the heart
Munchers of the intestine with the bile
Bushy heads without louse
Nocturnal birds with wondrous move

Aged folks with witty wings.a
