I Read Poems: Clay by Oluwatomiwa Ajeigbe

 

Clay by Oluwatomiwa Ajeigbe in Anathema

Our narrator creates a clay body, one that will be better than the one they have. One that they can live in. One that will be perfect.

It will not be perfect.

Read This: For a poetic meditation on the relationship with a body
Don’t Read This: It’s clay and it’s not perfect, and they don’t even know what would be perfect
