the flame

And so it will move us
Overnight
In silence it grows
Under garbage
under soiled dreams
and merciless reality
it rises with vigor
tora gidi uzvitonge
a seed
an untouched seed
an untouched bulb of resilience
a light of truth
of strength
of will
the glimpse of an ancient rhythm
the sound of a brilliant dance
evocative in its movement
with the power to open your eyes and mine
with passion
it cries out to this life
“i will show my face”
“i will give you the depths of me”
it will move
koupe tet bou lekay
and so i call you now
awaken them with your strides, Nana Yaa
move them with your motions, Nana Harriet
chill them with your voice, Osei Tutu
singe them with your hot temper, Nana Nzingha
cut them with your sharp morality, Omowale
for i can taste your summer’s sweet liberation
feel the sour of your spear’s thrust

i can hear your shriek
and so you will move
and so you will move
you will move us
with your flame
