Joy
Joy is an oversized purple agbada draped on a baby—
lavish, overwhelming.
It feels like the bubbling of a river dam
on the edge of breaking its banks.
Joy is like a freshly sewn boubou on a young girl—
suddenly, she walks like a rich aunty.
The grip of sadness may linger for a night,
but Joy—
Joy is coming.
