I try focus, but the eye dey pull me like market jollof rice.

But even as him face hide, him cloth no cover much!

Wrapper just hang, skin dey glow. My mouth dry.

Maybe he rush come out, just drape cloth, e no even tie!

"Na because I get good mind I cover your belle button for you, no try am again!"

I dey try protect small dignity for both of us.

After I talk, I run, dodge am!

No look down on war chief wey no get power—I still get ginger!

Na my motto be that. Even if power hide, sense still dey.

As I dey praise myself, the person behind stop!

If to say drama dey sell for market, na this kain scene go get plenty buyer.

That face, nothing fit hide am again!

Spirit king in the flesh. His beauty no dey fade.

"So you know say na me since, but you still no wan see me?"

The eye dey shine, but the voice cold. Na mixture of pride and small pain.

Him eyes dey hot, but voice cold: "Ngozi, how long you go dey pretend?"

Even the way he call my name get meaning. Spirit world long, but old names dey draw old feeling.
