Mama's Thought



Ojeagbon! mother of my embryo
The fattening breast that nourished my infant taste
the taste that has grown beyond my quest
The quest I no longer know how
Mother of my birth
the birth of my Journey
The Journey of my cradle
The cradle of  my thoughts
The thoughts of my  mama
Ojeagbon!
