these ancestral gifts leak from my hands
i overflow into the cups of others
my work manifests into blessings
i see the world in color
hues with no names that move you
i make folks see sound
their feet lift from dance floors
their hands touch ceilings
i send spells from my fingertips
watch them vibrate higher
their eyes
their lips
their bodies turn to oil
i put them on stretched canvas
the gallery of my minds eye
for all of life to see
