Enjambment is a poetic device in which an idea in a line of poetry runs into another. This means that a thought or phrase does not end at the end of a line, but rather continues into the next line without a pause or punctuation mark. It is often used to create a sense of continuity or flow in a poem, and can also be used to surprise or emphasize a particular word or phrase.

In the statement, "uncircumcised" refers to the whites. The word is used metaphorically to suggest that the whites are not initiated into the customs and ways of the indigenous people. It implies that the whites are outsiders who do not understand or respect the local traditions and beliefs. This is a common theme in postcolonial literature, where the colonizers are portrayed as ignorant and arrogant towards the colonized people.

'Me to the Orangery Solitude invites, a wagtail, to tell the tangled-wood-tale.
Christopher Okigbo: Heavensgae
The complexity of the poem can be ascribed to the poets use of

archaic diction

structural inversion

compound words

extended metaphor

Ìdáhùn tó tọ́

Awọn alaye Idahun

In Christopher Okigbo's poem "Heavensgate," the complexity can be attributed to the poet's use of an extended metaphor. An extended metaphor is a literary device that creates a comparison between two unlike things that continues throughout a series of sentences in a paragraph or lines in a poem. In this case, the metaphor is comparing the speaker's solitude to an orangery, with the wagtail serving as a storyteller to the tangled-wood-tale. This comparison is sustained throughout the poem, contributing to its complexity as the metaphor is explored and developed in different ways.
