My name has a meaning
My name, Bojosi
Is a fire which started
In my mother
And consumed
Her inside
When she delivered
Me to this world
She says
“ When I was imprisoned
in a maternity ward
at the hospital
at the time of your birth
son
I was alone, none
of them
I call my relatives
I call my friends
visited me
when I needed
their love most
and when they asked
me, the nurses in white
what name I give to you
I called you Bojosi ”
my name, Bojosi
short as it is
is a poem
that my mother
composed
when joy and pain
of giving birth
prevailed in her life
my name has a meaning…..

Bojosi is translated loneliness
