The Righteous Dance

For The Artist


Upon the fifth drink she was seized and
Caressed by Tantric spirits

They came to perform A Trance
A Sign For Oshun’s children

Her Body rifted with the energy of creation
The spirits engulfed rhythm and
Re-experienced this illusion of time
Re-experienced God A-L-L-A-H

It was Public Rites
And as sacred as it ought to be

Her Hips moved
And were trailed by color patterns named
Aura

There she was a Lotus
Splendid in Full bloom
There She was a Consort
How Blessed
She was

An Eternal Moment

In it she manifested as the energy of creation
It was polyrhythmic and orange
