THE HARBINGER by Jamiu Ahmed



the harbinger 


is here with a broken tongue

listen to the sermon of a stammerer 

words of an epileptic is a revelation from heaven 

i have come     wearing the celestial aureole bearing light      like the halo of rays around the sun
i'm the paradoxical duality of a coin      i'm the shadow round the hurricane lamp      i'm the light I'm the darkness 

i have come in sacred robe   to speak heavenly language in the temple but seek prodigy from figurines in hallowed priest holes

i have come    to raise the dead from their coven & open the eyes of a blind Poet to see through the faux metaphors in my verses

faith is a seed   to be planted in my garden for it to grow into a giant tree of unending fruits. 

salvation is now a nut oil      sold in god's supermarket.
