Analysis of Silent Ecstasy
Astra.glam 2001 (Lagos)
In her Silence, the shallows, the depths
Swept through her feet.
Winds leaving the door ajar
Quietly and stithily the tip-toed sound
of her breath, gasping for strength
Swiftly lend me a hand
I need a breath, slowly and calmly
gently lead me on until my breath no longer rekindles..
