Tanita Tikaram has maternal line to the Egyptian woman poet whose
name began with S who wrote the poem at the bottom of p. 14
(the one on p. 15 is by a different poet) of Women Poets From
Antiquity to Now, edited by Aliki Barnstone and Willis Barnstone,
Schocken Books, NY, 1992 edition. That poet is also the character
depicted in the movie Latcho Drom as the main woman sung to
when a guy is singing to maybe four women I think around full
moon and I think near a tree.

Tanita Tikaram has paternal line to Ramses I who invented
condoms. (Just kidding, Thoth, who was human once, did.)

She also has mental health healing ability so can
zap me if she thinks I am getting too far out there. :-)

I advise her to try some Screech rum.

that poem is

I find my love fishing
His feet in the shallows

We have breakfast together
And drink beer

I off him the magic of my thighs
He is caught in the spell



And again the verse that begins with "I wish to paint my eyes"
and follows it in the 1992 edition is not by the same woman,
it is by a different woman.
