Uche Nduka - That Is Why

I slept with you
before i knew who
you were

strawberries took us
to where God was

you lived in the north
of yourself

i was sworn to the halo
rising over your nipples

that is why i made
haste to enter you

and the exhausting
and the nourishing

the ecstasy the apostasy

why the day...
