Bijoux
By Uche Nduka
if you think I’m going
to run away
I’ve got news for you
beauty alone can’t explain
why we still have a lot of ground
to cover in praise of fingertips
with within around you
there are lots of reasons
to love these crevices
I’m not going to settle
down as long as there
is a song left in this cellar
promises sway back to back
your flashing gown is a crown
good things happen when you’re around
