"Images" by Alade Toheeb Oluwatoyin

Some images walked with their heads

Some had countless limbs

Shadows bled in the centre of a battle

Silhouettes stood with no visible images

Rainbow stood

Amidst a torrential rain

Afar was a tempest

'Strip yourself'

'Run to the widest forest'

'Eat your defecation'

Strange voices echoed to me

Images vanished.

My hands chained

My legs shackled

Before me stood an "agbomola"

With an amulet and a magic wand

He sang incantation and chants of jinn

"What happened to me?"
