Olatunji Sion
Scarified
how does it feel/to puncture the skin/ with a sharp electric needle/ just to define yourself/ or to belong
to another self/ gazing through the magnifying lens/ feel the loneliness of a man whose body is not just
tattooed/ soul tattooed/ with pain etched/ on the walls of the mind/ which laser beam fails to erase/ for
it's scarified.
