Rabiu Temidayo – Griepp’s Lobe

Poems about Griepp's Lobe
and how it rains when the Grimaldi shipped
freight is parked on the road.

Nowhere behind my PhD

The applications of categories to help cannot be undone.

When we live inside a sunshade we would find
we have inauspiciously
become eternal and so
of warm, bright and "important things".

The woollen sweater comforts. 

A kind of light fell on the right shoulders of Adams,
in one of these horticultural boulevards, wet from these rains. 

He seemed always all too eager to leave, even when he is home,
and when I find him eventually I find him by himself.

Rabiu Temidayo is a writer from Oxford and the Sorbonne. He has been published on Malahat Review, Juke Joint Journal, and Dreich magazine. Twitter: @rabiutemidayo
