POEM: LINES INTENTIONAL…

• if i am to love
  i would love the warmth you offer
  and your sighs that gets me doing things..
  i would love your flimsy ‘xcuses
  they make me believe
  you believe in deceit
  i would love your new otukwu hairstyle
  that gets those male folks
  at Isingwu gazing..
  i would love your already-faded mkpuru oka
  and how you combine it with white….with black
  anything, to match.
  i would love the way you lit the mpanaaka
  to sit innocently on nwaanyi noduluokwu
  to prepare dinner.
  i would love how you place the water pot on your head, and dash out to Iyi Agbaani..
  to fetch water.
  i would love everything,
  everything, even you. But no, not!

Just take

my lines intentional.
