Wale Owoade
1. I cannot speak the language of shadows
2. I want to give you my voice
3. My voice trembles like this empty street
4. My tongue is missing
5. My last neighbor died of shouting the name of God
6. The language of grief is tearfalls
7. I keep planting my audience in the backyard
8. Loneliness is a moist, empty teacup
9. Ashraf almost died of talking
10. I am tired of searching for a sound to call mine
11. I gave my word to the moon that touched me
12. Who knew my father followed the sound of bullets
13. The day he left, I watched the drapes in my room keep mute
14. The women I know hide scars in their voices
15. I was born in a room whose tongue is a graveyard
16. I am a graveyard.
