Ode to Faith Ringgold

Faith Ringgold. Sunflower Quilting Bee at Arles She's like you, Paper is her life blood, Anthology is her song.

She cut loose on a box car Back in '54

Her lips sang out the saint's names Her body became pure No man could touch her (this poem remains unfinished but I'm taking suggestions for the last line especially if you mention easter and death)
