Pounding of the drums
Screaming in my head.
Beating of the feet
In a dance they know so well.
Swirling of the body
One with the music.
Graceful arm movements
Asking for praise of the gods.
Hair flying free
Tangling in the wind.
A skirt twisting 'round
The dark and slender legs.
Legs that know this dance so well
The dance of sorrow and joy.
