A Visit To the Mortuary

A VISIT TO THE MORTUARY
Makinde Adebayo Adeniyi

Sleeping on the slab
Surrounded by kith and kin
In a conference of blab
No thought of sin
All opinions in the bin
Naked like a newborn 
Helpless like a lost chick
No thought about the morrow 
Dreams and aspirations long forgotten 
Intoxicated by silence 
None to see her fears
The future wrapped in loneliness 
Like a disappointed uterus 
Here ends the journey.
