Sculptor Leilah Babirye: ‘In Uganda you can be jailed for talking about gay issues’
The Pool by Alice Corbin Henderson Do you remember the dark pool at Nîmes, The pool that had no bottom? Shadowed by Druids ere the Romans came— Dark, still, with little bubbles rising So quietly level with its rim of stone That one stood shuddering with the breathless fear Of one short step? My little sister stood beside the pool As dark as that of Nîmes. I saw her white face as she took the plunge; I could not follow her, although I tried. The silver bubbles circled to the brink, And then the water parted: With dream-white face my little sister rose Dripping from that dark pool, and took the hands Outstretched to meet her. I may not speak to her of all she’s seen; She may not speak to me of all she knows Because her words mean nothing: She chooses them As one to whom our language is quite strange, As children make queer words with lettered blocks Before they know the way.… My little sister stood beside the pool— I could not plunge in with her, though I tried.

Happy Wednesday everyone! What are you loving this Wednesday?
Leilah Babirye is such a talented multi-media artist. Her large sculptures made out of mostly found/discarded items are amazing & worth viewing online (in person would be a dream).
