    ‘Tani?’
    (2023) Onabanjo, Oluseyi Olatunde
    My ears were itching again. Sleep pulled away like a receding tide, and the prickly feeling spread, till it covered me like beach sand. “Oluroumbi, oh, Joun joun, Iroko joun joun.” I pawed at my right ear to keep the singing at bay and ground the other into the sofa. It soon made sense to stop smashing the stained microsuede. I had released locked-in odors — mature farts, congealed sweat, and the leftovers from errant fuckery. I rolled onto my back, sniffed at the still air, and wiggled relief into the spot between my shoulder blades.
