Ijeoma

IJEOMA (Farewell)
In the wee hours
They sat down upstairs
At table
To a sumptuous 
Three course meal

Present at table were:
Morning, afternoon, evening,
The moon, the stars, night and darkness

Appetizer was served 
In the morning
Then,
Entree in the afternoon 
And dessert in the evening 
At night they shared
A glass of bitter lemon
On the rocks
Then,
Morning slipped into afternoon
And,
The sun went down
The moon eclipsed
And the stars faded

Then,
Night came downstairs 
Closely tailgated by darkness
Night closed the drapes
And,
Embraced Darkness 

Then,
They fell into
A deep ditch dream......
Sleep well....
