"Ayo Olukotun: I Hear Your Voice in the Wind" by Toyin Falola. Translated into English by Meta AI with Explanatory Note by Meta.

[Oluwatoyin Adepoju]

When the Ẹ̀fọ̀n tree is seen, it's a sign of dawn

When the Lèkélèké bird of the great god is seen

It's a sign of approaching light

It's a sign of the breaking of a new day

It's a sign that the night is over

The meeting (or gathering) is now the last day

The meeting is now the day of great judgment.

Note: Ẹ̀fọ̀n is a type of tree in Yoruba culture, and Lèkélèké is a type of bird associated with the gods. The poem appears to be describing the approach of dawn and the end of night, using these cultural symbols.
