Jan 8, 2019 | Poem In praise of Kpele wontsemei In Praise of Kpele Wↄƞtsԑmԑi By Marion Kilson Caught by her god, Chosen messenger between god and human; Caught by her god, Defamed no more as childless and unschooled; Caught by her god, Crowned with the five corners of the world; Caught by her god, To perform entranced kpele song and dance; Caught by her god, To unravel the past and reveal the future.
In praise of Kpele wontsemei
Caught by her god,
Chosen messenger between god and human;
Caught by her god,
Defamed no more as childless and unschooled;
Caught by her god,
Crowned with the five corners of the world;
Caught by her god,
To perform entranced kpele song and dance;
Caught by her god,
To unravel the past and reveal the future.
