Poetry by Sena Cobblah

Learnt how mice hide in gutters and the woodworks of high ceilings
Trained my muscles for agility
Like a sprite

I know how to mask
Draw on a smile and color my nose
Pull handkerchiefs from my chest
Just to see you smile

You cannot find me
In the way I dance this ulcer away
And tippy tap on the gnawing in my bones

Look closely
Do you see me
Standing there smiling
I’m the shade of the sky
Between the lilies and the canapés
Look till I fade

Between the Agama lizard and the leaf of the sunflower
As I waltz into another death
I dance on my dead body
