A Poem by Sandra T. Adeyeye




By the River of Cassandra

By the River of Cassandra,
Where dreams live on tall trees,
The sky meets blood streams,
In rain, allies are found.

By the River of Cassandra,
Blood of bulls flow at the altar,
The thunder and lightning cackle,
Like a predator against a cattle.

By the River of Cassandra,
Pity is eroded by scarred bravery,
The earth quakes at misery,
Tears twinkle as stars.

By the River of Cassandra,
When the moon and sun collide,
The mountains refuse to be hiked,
The grass remains marked.

By the River of Cassandra,
The dawn breaks on the new born,
In a pouch, two does and one buck,
Breast milk and veggies builder of body strands.

By the River of Cassandra,
Ice wind sweeps through the planet.
