Fresco Your Renaissance
Jakky Bankong-Obi
map the sacred space
build a rampant, a will of
iron for the temple within
lay a creed of flowers
purple hibiscus and yellow daisies,
little offerings of beauty
fill the chalice
drench the grotto with the
sang real of self truth
light the censer
ignite the quiescent coals
sensate the mildewed essence
chant the ritual
to the sun, the moon, the stars
invoke their ocular devices
abbey the ruins
curate the sacred wildness rising
fresco your renaissance.
