Drums

The drums are here....
beats sounded from jungle depths,
through the passage of history.

Staccato lines punctuating lives,
heart-beats mimicked.

The beats are many
and ordered in rhythms,
insistent and weaving,
changing and challenging.

The call to dance.

The drums are here....
in the depths of the city.
Transplants from a context of heat and wildlife
to concrete and electronic technology.

The past cannot be transcended,
but must be carried forth.

Informing us....
beats bursting from our cells.

The pulse of life will not be denied.

The sun

beats

down.

Existence continues.
