The Hand That Minds the Author

THE HAND THAT MINDS THE AUTHOR 

( for Christie Achebe) 

The hand that minds the author

What is life like rivalling words?

When you decked your bed with persian sheet

And stuffed your pillow with the autopedics

When you perfumed your room with arabian scent

And wore your pyjamas to thrill and kill

In books he shrouded himself

Romancing words like butterfly roses

Hours on your feet you stood

Tampered butter,tampered flour

Gazing clock,gazing oven;

Icing sugar and fondant craft

You perfected, though fluffy,

His appetite was for words

When he woke you up from slumber

Asking for neither food nor peck

But only to appraise his newest bride:

''How do you see this Christie?''

Often you yielded:''words are paints

With which your rainbow is made.''

Your fortitude is commendable:

24/7 in libraries

Visiting schools,visiting books

Pruning students, pruning teachers;

But when Christie,when did your

Hearthrob come to you?
