THE ETHICS AND POLITICS
OF LIBERATION: THEORIZING
THE EKKLĒSIA OF WOMEN
HEROINES
Exceptional
even deviant
you draw your long skirts
across the nineteenth century
Your mind
burns long after death
You may inherit slaves
but have no power to free them
your skin is fair
you have been taught that light
came
to the Dark Continent
with white power
that the Indians
live in filth
and occult animal rites
Your mother wore corsets
to choke her spirit
which if your refuse
you are jeered for refusing
you have heard many sermons
and have carried
your own interpretations
locked in your heart
