Praying
Whilst the
Sky is open
Raining
Singing and
Loving on loose
Wounds
Healing at
Their crash site
There
Is peace
In bearing witness
Justice
Has mercy
Under its foot
Adenike Onanuga (she/her), who also goes by Nike (nee-kay) is a queer, Philadelphia-based writer who emphasizes connection, spirituality and self-actualization in her writing. She is dedicated to producing work that shifts social-emotional paradigms, gently begs questions that demand discussion, and celebrates the collective accomplishments of the human experience. She writes prose, poetry, novels, short stories, songs, and screenplays. When Nike is not writing, she likes to play bass and guitar in her band or solo, reading, spending time with her loved ones, quilting, and learning new things. Her work has been published in Susquehanna Apprentice Writer, The Temple News, Moonstone's "New Voices" publication, and First Sight Press.
