Ogun by Andrew Kudelka

                                       My Ogun
                                       wants to be hidden
                                       especially his face
                                       he is deep in the forest
                                       he hides his diamonds
                                       far down in the earth
                                       his treasure is buried
                                       only he knows where

Ogum

Ogum painted by Carybe

                Ogum speaks to me
                in sunlight shimmering
                through dark green leaves
                in the distant sound
                of a train approaching
                in the rusty bolts
                that hold up a gate
