MEET ME THERE

Let’s meet at the boarders of Ayaase

Where the strong tree stands tall

And the divided earth lies strong

 

Let’s meet at the  boarder of ayaase

Where one hole leads to life

And not doom

 

Let’s meet at the boarder of ayaase

Where the tree is ripe with unseen fruits

And the fertilized earth awaits its load

 

Let’s meet at the boarder of ayaase

Where pleasure takes charge as the tree’s roots penetrate the earth

Like a possessed fetish dancing to the tune of an akom music

 

Let’s meet at the boarder of ayaase

Where the earth moans as the rains fall

Wetting the road for the tree to enter its temple with ease

 

Let’s meet at the boarder of ayaase

And make a beautiful or handsome little tree

Which will grow  to replace and provide shade when we shed our leaves.
