A Voodoo Sonnet for Lady Katherine Dunham

FAITH be a woman who quotes Henry Duman
And so armed steps to the sound of battle
Alone or in company it don't matter
To dare to struggle to win is glorious

FAITH be a stompdown East Boogie woman
With toes arabesque and a hoodoo mind
Whose name is Mystery face is sublime
And known cross the waters And kissed by the wind

Adamantian willed Yoruba skilled
Orishamamma of Political Drama
And talent and pain and love and the drum
Hear Mandinka thrumming of Freedom to Come

A timeless griot with the laugh of a girl
FAITH be a woman who lights up the world
