Poem – Camouflage (By Emmanuel Stephen Ogboh)

Camouflage

 

plunging deeper into my miseries

 

i come out of myself, reading threnodies

 

even the camouflage’s lost its colour

 

i will watch from the sidelines

 

until i finally drown;

 

until the last flicker bows

 

to the tossing, to the darkness.
