“Lately, everything in my universe has made it hard to forget. I look at this new man sure he is everything I once wanted. But body does not feel the same when it is not my third or fourth hand holding it. The sweetness of an apple is not the sweetness of a grape. There is no tingle when he says name. No spark when he touches skin. We are not twins, Ejima. He is not you and I am not him.” — Ezinne Orjiako, Nkem.
Lately, everything in my universe has made it hard to forget. I look at this new man sure he is everything I once wanted. But body does not feel the same when it is not my third or fourth hand holding it.
The sweetness of an apple is not the sweetness of a grape.
There is no tingle when he says name.
No spark when he touches skin.
We are not twins, Ejima.
He is not you and I am not him.
