images somewhat unrefined
in this silent movie
an actor, so divine

The women swooned
As men in black and white
made our dreams late at night
Softly now they swept up our hearts
they spoke no words
yet were so vividly heard

Men in attendance
affixed their attention
attempting to emulate
that soul searing gaze
with intention

All were
hypnotized by Valentino's eyes
in this theater hushed
transfixed
transformed
in silence
applauded
and highly regarded
this silent star
silent star.

"Josephine" by Wendie Busig-Kohn

Josephine!!

Oozing sensuality
Erotic by define
Fearless and determined
So many stood in line
To see her infamous “Banana Dance”
Femme Fatale without peer
Artists all embraced her
From beginning to end
of her illustrious career.

Born and raised in poverty
An icon long before
Civil Rights Movements
Began to play a role
In fairness for all.

She loved her country and Paris
all the children of the world
Were in her heart
Like the biggest box of chocolates
She had a mission to adopt them all.

Reckless and unpredictable
Fraught with many challenges each day
she met each one with fearlessness
Her one predictable flaw.

She never believed in failure
She trusted her own grace
But Grace, her Royal Highness
Was there to prevent her from losing face.

Two nights before she died
Her triumphant final comeback witnessed
Her joy of performance vindicated
As Mick Jagger applauded, we knew
She will always be thought of
As the irrepressible Josephine Baker,

"La Baker" to heaven flew!
