Ugo Amaká


Ugoamaka used to want
to be a seamstress:
onye odúdú.
but papa said the only things she would
be mending would be damaged kidneys .

so she went ahead and became
a dokinta:
onye ogwu ocha.
mending people's insides;
unmending hers.

huge grotesque scars that
seem to never want to go away. there's some beauty in evil:
un peu de la purité in
the heart of a condemned man,
an innocence buried beneath a blanket of
bottled up emotions. these little beauties we
choose to neglect
aren't they the very things that
make living bearable? who would be good without the existence
of evil?
who would be beautiful without ugliness?
or what story could ever be told without scars? need beauty and ugliness,

crazy crazy world. need balance:
then imbalance to
balance the human equation
now and again.
