Good tidings,I beg the tides to bring ashore.Carry the sunset to me,that I may be bathed in golden rays.Eat not the sand beneath my feetin your ravenous hunger.Bear me if you must,to the mansions in Ikoyi.But do not be pregnant with me,your son as food for leviathan.Sail lilies to my heart throb,let your breath caress her breasts.Salt the blisters accrued from my travails.Stepmother sea with rheumy eyes,look upon your naked childkneeling ashore in prayer.
