The Dark Alone
by Tolu Ogunlesi

Is it in the Waves,


...the pull
of the water
sweeping
its path clean


Or in the man,


...the push
of his desire,


striving
against the odds
to nail himself
on the teeth of the Sea


Is it a Journey,


into The Dark Alone,


Some wild alley 
in the (adult)-Hood


or a retreat,


into the Well-Lit simpli-City
of childhood


A satisfaction 
of ego


or the shedding of it...


Is Success sometimes
like a Weapon of Mass Delusions?
