I am Akosua
child of the sun
stardust spun
up
into my soul.
You may
call me Awusi,
for I fly high
wings unsinged
by such
sheer emanation.
I am known
as BODUA,
she who wags the Tail of the Beast
so wild, so FREE
in a grip— true
trust in
Tumi.
I am Epifania,
woman of revelation,
many a manifestation,
down
to earth.
You may
call me Emmanuela,
for I pour
from a baptism of faith
brought forth inspiration,
and some say
even illumination.
I AM
a surety
of so many appellations
drawing me out
of this no-thing
into no-body
that is nowhere
in no time
that I AM
STILL,
eternity.
