by Claudius Ogunsona
I grieve for the distraction
That made me bat my lids:
What feature did I miss
When the heavy sun
Glared into my face?
A pouting, a stare
Or some gesticulation?
Ay, I missed
The magnificence
Of the moment
Of your beauty,
For now, the relish is past
And all I can see is a disfiguration
Like a reflection
In a muddled pool.
