the poem is borne
  and will not change
  so I soaked it in ***
           spewed whirling
               candomble chants
          from depths afire

and yet unyielding form remains
so I covered it
      in mouth-melted chocolate
          swallowed once more

           sweet cantadora hush
candomble : an Afro-Brazilian religion, sharing some beliefs with Vodou, Santeria, and Obeah
cantadora :  singer/storyteller, keeper of the lore
