Which Poison Do You Drink
Which Poison do You drink?…………By Peter Onyancha
Which poison do you drink?
When you open your mouth
Your fangs!
Each word is toxic
It leaves a septic wound
Which poison do you take?
When I see you
The shaken body aches
I coil and shiver
From your venom to my fever
Which poison is it?
Raise your arm with brim anger
Bruise me with rancor and scald me
The surgeon and blade
Will piece and stitch
Degree after degree
But your unmetered spittle
Is mortal my Husband!
Which poison do you drink!?
