SRHR Advocacy in times of COVID-19
On June 25, 2020, I had a radio interview at Cool FM Abuja on Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Advocacy in times of COVID-19 Pandemic.
Grief is a Sentence
Fallacy is a word,
but you say it in eight:
There is hope for a tree cut down.
How can a woman who only understands the language
of the fire that burned her tongue
hear you?
You speak like time does your bidding:
Joy comes in the morning.
If time really gives a hoot about you,
we would have made it to the hospital
before his heart gave out.
He would have crossed the road
before the car could hit him,
the car wouldn’t have hit him
before he could cross the road
to me waiting on the other side.
You like to shalaye, don’t you?
When I asked if our boy would grow back if I watered his grave, you told me:
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
You were only trying to say one word, husband:
Grieve.
HOW TO SURVIVE A PANDEMIC
-
Write on the last pages of your journal, the center will hold your sanity when this is over.
-
Water the plants, pretending your faith has roots.
-
When hope visits, do not tell it off with a mouth full of tales of yesterdays.
-
Join an online challenge. You may win something for once in your life.
-
When a stranger tweets “allow it” at 3:46 AM, hold back from replying NO. No one resists the day and wins.
-
Do yoga. Everyone does yoga, even those who cannot bend to salvage their ego when it is pushed.
-
I know you like the dark, but leave a light on in the kitchen; your anxiety will wake you up just when you are getting a hang of sleep. Tell yourself it is thirst.
-
You hated the news as a child because it was always about millions embezzled, and the only millions you ever saw was in your math textbook. Remember, you still hate the news.
-
Get a hobby. Try cooking; read the recipe for the last meal your mother made for your father — I mean, her master — before he died of food poisoning.
-
Tear the mid pages of your journal; you were never sane anyway.
