Across the River Styx
Far within the deep bowels of earth
The journey to eternity begins
Entering the sunless palace of Hades
Relinquishing all my past pains
Longing for the peacefulness of Elysium
I saved my pennies for Charon the Boatman
Forward to a new beginning
Everlasting quiet rest.
Read – Ode to the Blackbird (Haiku) – (2020 AWA Award Winner) by Nneka Joyce Duru, Nigeria
