“You describe her as an Eden. This rare, unknowable place. Distant. And you tell me to wear her skin but I refuse. I shift in my seat. Distant. What is it about the men that go looking for old lovers in new women. And why is it that they always want you to touch them like she touched them. Wear her head like a show piece. Use her words as lipstick.” — Ezinne Orjiako, Nkem.
You describe her as an Eden.
This rare, unknowable place. Distant.
And you tell me to wear her skin but I refuse.
I shift in my seat. Distant.
What is it about the men that go looking for old lovers in new women. And why is it that they always want you to touch them like she touched them. Wear her head like a show piece. Use her words as lipstick.
