I Miss Canaan City




By


Obododimma Oha


I miss Canaan City

I miss the sweet breeze

And filtered air that kisses my nose


I miss Edikang Ikong

And menu prepared with washed hands

Honestly, food is ready!


I miss smooth skin

And life well-looked after

I miss life


I miss Canaan City

And her pleasures

I miss the land

That keeps my heart.
