Irene Abena Adoma Mensah

   I draw in hope
Evoking a sense of liberation
 
  A journey of internal choreography

I draw with words
  The spaces between
 
  Following instinct and random beckonings
 
  Making quiet places
  Where fragments of absent presence
ripple outwards
 Enlivening silence
 
  Through distortion of the familar
  New poetic truth
 
  Retuning human tensions
 emotions loosening, emotions bound
 
  Divination practice
  from ancient traditions

The inheritance of ancestral knowledge
brought into the light of today
