Part of what I have enjoyed the most at this year's AFF has been the sheer creativity unleashed. Jessica Horn who is a member of the AFF working group has kindly agreed that I can reproduce this poem which she wrote in honour of Lovetta Warner and read during one of the workshops I attended:
Call her love
call her brave
call her anytime
you dare
renegade butterfly in the forest
of men's endless hunger
scarlet lipped militant feeding
our days from her endless
harvest of laughter
she doesn't want bones
no burnt endings at the bottom
of life's pot, bring her the flesh
of life and she will feast
calling on all earth's children to
come, nourish, grow
call her now
call her later
call her anytime you dare
'cos til now
no man has succeeded
in silencing thunder
no way no man
is going to do it today
