Cicadas in chorus
Pond Frogs in harmony
with the night
owls keep time
moths frolic with fireflies
straydogs sing their songs
the wind plays
its remembered melodies
the sound of Orisha
powers the night
umele
bembe
djembe
nayabinghi
offerings made
Shango has arrived
Thunder Claps Its Approval . !
moonlight choreographs
the still wet canopies
like a symphony of steelpans
rendering a sonata
in G minor
the ancestors came
and all
were remembered . !
