Footprints of the Night Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Ositadimma Amakeze, Nigeria Apr 1, 2008
Environment   Poetry

  

‘Tis the drama of the dark pregnant night
Concealed ‘neath the dim moonlit earth
When eyelids in slumber’re past
As creatures creep out their sheath

An awesome odyssey of unseen nature
Upon the stage of preceding dawn
Whereof the personae were in rupture
Revealed by the floodlights of waking sun

Such were feet that walked the night
Rigorous crawls of unbroken symmetries
Indefinite like ancient graphics and font
While some crisscross wildly like wildfires

Much more imprints of queer character
Some as ganged-up strokes of sticks
And there are hither and yonder
Earth dimples like upturned cones

Speechless deep and shallow cavorted claws
O’er feeble pyramids of darker soil
Amidst telltales of ravening exploits
Sole and soleless nightly toil and soil!

Of feats the victor and vanquish
The nocturne of a cadential night
As its footprints in subtlety vanish
Till unfloding hustle of light’s past
