30″Something – A Poem for Bukola

30″Something – A Poem for Bukola

Words fall short,
as Xerxes gazed upon Esther,
her face illuminating the room,
until she became queen over her adversaries.

So have you, Adunni,
a guiding light for the stargazers.

Today, balloons pop,
just as David would have celebrated his victory
with a medieval adagio.

Your heart carries the weight of your smile,
singing a familiar song.

Merry Bukola,
brush your face against the wind,
rest upon your pinnacle,
on this 30-something,
and shout with a conquering tongue.
