Like love birds we flew
to the highest heavens
dared to touch a star
no shackle or bar
pressed to hold us back
Our souls were one
We wore in uniform
I could see me in you
that shadow coming behind
Every time you smile
My light came brighter
You spoke not a word
Yet your sayings were known
This dawn has hurriedly cast into a night
Why should the sun mourn
and the moon dim its ray?
The cracks in the wall
habitable solace for agamas'
We should brood a moment
and give our minds to reason;
why yield to Achebe's prophecy?
Things may fall apart
but the centre is capable
to hold
