Ejaculation — Adewale Ajagbe

I felt the clouds

Gathering beneath

My sentimental scrotum

And I knew I would soon come

It built up steadily like the birth

Of a new day

There was chaos under my skin

As veins and capillaries transported

liquids like fulani men

Transporting nama on the eve of eid’l kabir

I felt its steady movement

It rose up through the ranks

Like a military general

And all my body stood

At attention as this tyrant

Inspected the parade ground

I knew I was gradually giving in

To this devilish excitement building

Up in me, it spread like wild fire in no time

And my skin burned with this ecstasy

Oh its coming,  yeah!!!  I cant hold it

Any longer!  Yeah! Oh!  Yeah!!!

Aaaahhhh!!!

My body vibrated wildly

I came back to my senses

My whole being calm

As i stood there naked in my thoughts

She was innocent, she was a virgin

She lay on the floor, submerged

In the pool of her clothing blood

As i watched her lay dead

I felt it again

This time it was not anger,

It was guilt.

Guilt worse than death

I knew I wouldn’t live long

With this feeling

I felt the clouds again building

Steadily like the rise of the sun

But this time

It was fast,

It jumped protocol like

A Nigerian politician

I held the pistol to my forehead

Closed my eyes

The feeling swept me like whirlwind

I vibrated again with guilt

And again pulled the trigger!!!
