You My Reflection by Shola Balogun
for Rukayat
You are the thunder jazz reggae beats
In my soul ever breaking clouds,
And you have become the reconnection sanctification
Of me to the Glorious of Awesomeness,
To taste the salt within my own tears,
You have brought back
My own original face, a reflection
Revealing me back at me.
