Sunglasses by Valentine Okolo

I will wear sunglasses,

so as to hide the tears which form in my eyes.

For a man is not supposed to cry,

so they say,

and because of this:

my heart I have kept in a safe.

 But I will wear sunglasses all the same 

for I am emotional as poets come.

As emotional as Thomas who found solace in a bottle.

As emotional as Byron who went to Avalon without a drink.

For my feelings I carry with me, visible for you to see

like Magritte’s apple stuck to a forehead.

Glasses which will be taken off

when I go to bed at night,

lulled to sleep by the stars,

my nightmares forgotten.

And when tomorrow comes

again, to put them on.
