His Name Was Prince and He Was Funky
True Gemini, our Prince, he rocked ancient splits: Love/God;
Black/White; Male/Female. Ungendered fever dream realized:
Purple Funk Deity. He earned our surrender. Universal Lover,
God of Raunch, Sacred Roll. Larger than this pop life: Pint-sized
High-heeled, Winged wonder, transcendent conduit made flesh. No
way will he be silenced by something as trivial as death.
