"BUSH DANCE"

 

“Bush Dance”

playing aloud;

not knowing Portuguese

I am at a loss

for what’s being sung

 

just rhythm

furiously swiping

through the air

 

text misunderstood

but the brain

makes adjustments

 

to enjoy what

is being heard

human voice becoming

a musical instrument

 

so poetry,

too,

can rise

from the ashes

of burnt hope

 

& ambition

can be rewarded

every once in awhile
