Kwabena Agyare Yeboah
cadaver
i have said my father named me with letters
and attributed to my neck, a burden
i walk around not killed by artillery, surprisingly,
but the gauge-piercing eyes that slice me up with finesse
and butter me with perceptions that are ill-mannered
they say that i am a walking cadaver,
squirrel teeth, fragments of post-war trauma, distress
and like death, i never get full, vulture prowling
in all these, i remember my grandma's toast
