WE ARE CLOUDS WITH NO BLUES.

By Zaynab Iliyasu Bobi

here                                    we are clouds with no blues.     

when it rains                       it means run! hide! before the bullets drops                              

                                          & despite knowing the red waters washes our skin

                                          & makes the sea barren & our bodies dreamers of colour,

we still write poetry until blue appears once again.
