routines
by Oluwatomisin Oredein
two things I must do every day:
drink more water
and write more.
replenish seventy percent of myself
and put worlds
living inside my head in order.
return myself to myself,
expose myself to myself.
remember that water is life
then give life to verbal offspring
in hopes that grandchildren
might explain to the world
what manner of woman
is part water, part word.
