to the church of elishama.

a letter by oluchukwu. Whenever I think of you, I think of standing under the sun after being drenched by the rain. That particular phenomenon has happened to me twice and on both occassions, I marveled at the ability of nature to cancel out its own misdoings. When I hold…

another year round the sun. — I seriously considered skipping this year’s letter because I do not believe the things I have to say are important. But if there’s something I have learnt over the years, it’s that I do not get to decide the worth or value of my words (and thoughts) to the reader…

this program was brought to you by Dr Brown’s Baby Wipes.

as usual, i couldn’t think of a title. — today, i woke up tired. my eyelids are heavy, and my mouth is open in a constant yawn. but there are many many things to do in the world; many tasks to accomplish, so i must rise above. there is a job to attend to, there is food to be…

the problem with quantum mechanics is uncertainty.

…and entanglements. — It’s been years since I lost you and I still linger by the doors we went through when you and I were one. For the first few months after you left, I recalled you in stunning detail but these days the memories are blurry. But even though the lens is…

My New Year’s Resolution is to Shut Up.

One last thing before we call it a year… — My 2022 resolution was to eat slowly. I failed (woefully, if I might add). In my defence; I tried to relax while eating quite a few times throughout the year, but my need for speed continued to override my desire to savour. That’s okay though, it’s a lifelong struggle.

to my left, there is a pink tree.

Customary end of year thing; it’s a bit lengthy, so take your time. — I. every day; when i wake up and draw in my first conscious breath, it is as though god has abandoned me. there are no joys. there is only sadness, darkness, and despair — a deep sad despairing night. i have sat to write to you many times since the last…

Foot Fetish: A Film by Quentin Tarantino.

I just washed my feet. I took my time and scrubbed between the toes and the sides and soles—a really thorough job. After that, I wiped them with a towel; put some lotion on them, and then wore socks. I really enjoyed that. While I was running water over them…
