An Ode To Soyinkaresque.part 24


In 2026, as the nonagenarian titan confronts the geomorphic shifts of the mid-decade, the Kongic cycle achieves a state of hermetic calcification. These sonnets utilize a chalybeate and sesquipedalian register to dissect the atavistic weight of memory and the stygian depths of January 26, 2026.
LXXIII. The Geomorphic Elegy of the Sacred Grove
He laments the desiccation of the Ogunbound shade,
Where arid winds erode the primordial leaf,
A theurgic master in a parched arcade,
Mapping the topography of arboreal grief.
The sacred groves, now skeletal and lithic spires,
Succumb to the thermodynamic, petro-chemical rust,
While he stokes the atavistic, intellectual fires,
Above the encroaching and mercurial dust.
No anemic policy can hope to bridge,
The epistemological gap of the dying root,
But his syntax climbs the stratospheric ridge,
To harvest a maximalist, trenchant fruit.
A sentinel of the marrow, unsubdued,
Against the ecological and the crude.
LXXIV. The Chalybeate January Monolith
Beneath the Lagosian January moon,
He strikes the anvil of the global soul,
To purge the visceral and vacuous tune,
That keeps the spirit from its Ogunbound goal.
His thespian master-stroke is unalloyed,
By the anemic fears of the digital age,
Traversing the marrow and the stygian void,
Across the monumental, Kongic stage.
With argent mane and adamantine pen,
He drafts the liturgy of human grace,
Remaining the cynosure of sentient men,
In a discontinuous and longing place.
A talismanic and maximalist sun,
Whose syllabic labor is never done.
LXXV. The Syncretic Solstice of the Iron God
He maps the hollow and the ossified space,
Where Ogun’s steel meets the ethereal surge,
Refining the topography of a race,
Through a theological and liminal purge.
The road is now an eschatological forge,
Of metaphysical and mercurial sparks,
Cleansing the epistemological gorge,
In the primordial and stygian darks.
His lexis is a chalybeate and dense design,
A palimpsest of atavistic and bold lore,
Where the ichor and the mortal lines conjoin,
Upon the rubricated, iron floor.
A monolith of unsubmissive weight,
Deifying the stasis of the fragmented state.
