Painting home on canvas by Awósùsì Olúwábùkúnmí A.

Memories and sadness and pains and threat and batterings

And dreams and dreams and sufferings and prayers and tears

And offerings and tithes and preaching

Then death.

Home does not hold a corrugated roofs on Gopher wood

or Acacia or other woods. Home is these memories 

Thick as these paintings. Mix them till you can feel the solidness

‘cause first, that’s how these memories feels.
