african drum

Drumming, drumming
Hands slapping goat skin
Until palms are red meat, pounded.

Drumming, drumming
Fearful of being out of time
Rhythm as instinct not thought

Drumming until the sound meets
In the middle of the circle
As ancient voices, singing.

Drumming, drumming
They speak to me
As I leave the circle, never to return.
