IN THE BEGINNING
drums beat cool
clear weathered
freshly watered
partly cloudy
wooden drums
deep water drums
hard shelled and thick skinned
spirit drums
splatter drums
sputter drums
& children rush from their homes
women leap across dancing fields
men prance and jump
within reach of the sky
the wind a nice touch
& the drums
cool
hard boiled
one hand to another
