The creative process
The creative process can be quite fun, walahi.
You give it what it takes.
Here I am making a new picture.

Title: Wither Wakanda?
Installation
2016 to present.
Officially, I become a senior citizen today.
I turned 65.
From what my daughter said–and she was giving me professional information as a licensed social worker–I have become an ẹ̀rùjẹ̀jẹ̀ in the eye of the law in the US.
I’m like a baby now.
Can you imagine hurting a baby!
Those who love you
often don’t let you know;
you may discover their love
in their whispers, looks or gestures.
But it is those who hate you
that shout hostility at you loud and clear.
Day and night, for three weeks.
And finally, it is done.
Trees are my favorite lovers.
They are always there for you.
People walk away.
Trees are marvelous spirits.
You can talk to the spirits in the tree.
Anthonia Nneji has done me again.
I am speechless.
I must write her a poem.
