Ibeji




Joy of motherhood entwined 
Pairs of warriors even before their arrival
Twenty tiny fingers set for a tug of war
Kicking umbilical cords and sort 
They cuddle close together 
Fighting for space and love
But upon hearing the pregnant sound of food and breath 
They settle their differences and dance around their hemispheres 
Ibeji — Identical but one of a kind glorious fruits waiting for harvest time! 

-Olumide
