      November 18, 2019Ill NightsLabeja Kodua

      like winter evening saturdays
      when you’re ill and your mum
      is lazy but loving, and wants
      to eat and drink at the same time
      amber glass of brandy steaming
      through fingers that touch a
      wooden spoon and spew
      hot liquid broth into your waiting mouth

      from #65 - Fall 2019

      Labeja Kodua

      “I grew up in Koforidua, Ghana, and what I loved is the life in the language, how everything is imbued with personality, you walk around an angry road, with a joyful breeze, holding back a talkative coconut. The surreal qualities of the city are so characteristic of what Africa is to me. I would like to convey this in the poetry I write.”
