Blackness smothers Abuja,
the still night air, noisy
jammed with the cranky wails
of mournful monotone generators,
every space choked by sweltering heat
in this sweat drenched darkness,
#change waffles, wobbly…..
and the beauty of the faint stars
shines forth because of this
damp blanket of blackness
That’s a contrast I love.
