Ọ̀ṣẹ́ Méjì

['I', 'II', 'I', 'II']

Victory. Sweetness after the work.

Ọ̀ṣun’s water. Overcome, then taste. Not pride — thanks.

After a test. A naming of joy. When a tongue finally sits right.

Ọ̀ṣẹ́ is the overcoming Odù. Alternate open and closed — a dance. Teach ìṣẹ́gun (victory), oyin (honey), and Ọ̀ṣun. In class: the lesson after the hard drill. Do not skip the thanks. Ẹ ṣé is a small Ọ̀ṣẹ́ every day.
