Magic Happens

I create magic spaces

out of desolate places

using colors and fragrances

I mix jazz and samba

hip hop culture and ancient rememberings

of Africa

Flowers appear everywhere I step

I scatter cowrie shells

and rose quartz all about

bones loved by O'keeffe 

are gathered in baskets

reminders of Muskogee ancestors 

the sound of rippling water

springs from an altar to the Goddess

candles, fireplace and mirrors

reveal the beauty of creativity
