Ibebe

Round marblelike structures
Craftily aligned on wearer's waist 
Boasts loudly in the manner of silence 
Of Mother's amaranthine intelligence 

Ibèbè, magic or science? 
Ibèbè, the magic of science 
Soother of the pain cursed 
On the woman's seeds 

Orbs powerful of exhibiting
An infinite range of colours 
Bestow beauty on bodies.
The awe of Mother's and God's creation.
