i find it
in a bubble

i speak
a shadow

across
glasses

i find it
where there

is nothing
but moonskin

Destination

the last time was
a kiss—they

ate the fruit
eyes open

we play
morning

by ear
because

even a cloud
has my clit

wandering
like prophetic hats

—afterwards, we
opened the eggs

& the back
ground, pink

was the same
as our skin[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1/1″][vc_empty_space][vc_separator sep_color=”color-184322″ el_width=”30%”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_right” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1/3″][vc_single_image media=”57241″ media_width_percent=”100″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]David Ishaya Osu was born in 1991 in Nigeria.
