Ekpo
   
   
  Wild body,
  Soot & mud & smells
  A stain stays the road
   
  Wild body 
  Wild speech
  And untiring chase
   
  Unam ikot!
  the howling fear the toothed conquest
  always
  eats this foliage text
   
  He the 'he'
  walks tall
  into a dream of carved wood
   
  The mime the mystery around
  market & marked shrinehouse
  long after
  the tiny bell has found the distance
