Poet Of An Ordinary Heartbreak By Chris Abani

Poet of an Ordinary Heartbreak Chris Abani 1966 – Who hasn’t been tempted by the sharp edge of a knife? An ordinary knife cutting ordinary tomatoes on an ordinary slab of wood on an ordinary Wednesday. The knife nicks, like a bite to the soul. A reminder that what is contemplated is as real as the blood sprouting from a finger. As real as a bruised eye. Instead turn back to the meat stewing on the stove. Scrape pulpy red flesh into the heat and turn. Say: even this is a prayer. Even this.

My adaptation of the God of Arepo short story, which was originally up at ShortBox Comics Fair for charity. You can get a copy of the DRM-free ebook here for free - and I'd encourage you to donate to Mighty Writers or The Ministry of Stories in exchange.

Again it's an honour to be drawing one of my favourite short stories ever. Thank you so much for the original authors for creating this story; and for everyone who bought a copy and donated to the above non-profits.

A painting of a landscape with no sky visible, just a motley collage of grasses in different shades of green and yellow. A small river is flowing down the image, and a flock of white sheep are scattered all over.
