By Noel Ihebuzor
Seduction,
words, glances, gestures
and signs all singing innocence,
guile innocently garbed in see-through lace, wonyosi,
seeds laced and laden with suggestion
of slow gentle adduction
consensual abduction,
mutual attraction, prehensile and tensile,
O youth, shine your eyes,
read the small print
approach with caution, resist acceleration
to end points and end games
steeped in action, multiplication, addition,
and deception and substraction.
Oh! Sad and beautiful.
beautiful
Thanks, Celestine! Akwaaba!
