A Waist Without Beads by Hamza Wankari

 




A waist without beads

Is a waist without worth  

Cool-blooded like a piece of meat

In a waste bin for a weevil

Waddling in confines unashamedly

Which cannot waggle a man

To a warfare against his own will

Knowing such cannot whet appetite



A waist without beads 

Is which cannot drive man to wetland

For which he cannot warble

Nor worship nor warp

Like a hot metal out of fire

Wary of weighty matters 

Amidst the warmth of the night

Like a coin which cannot whimper

At gentle touch

To bend a man to whim

But whacking the fold unperturbed
