did you see
the ladies in white
dancing
their magic feet
black and bare
daring your pious eyes
to stare
their bronze heads
and tails
blissfully wrapped
in grace and rapture
like minstrels of badu
did you hear
them spin a mythic ballad
or two
of kipling
and angelou
did you feel
the muse
timeless and pure
daring you to sin
and curse those blessed hymns
that blinded you
from the secular
and kept you holier than thou
until now
ayo
