Ekuri
The mountain waited.
Gorillas called.
Strange stars held the sky
And the drums –
the drums owned the night.
Trails polished and honed
by bare feet.
Rich, dark harmonies
in a jungle
that holds its secrets close.
I watched, silent-
was energized
by waterfalls
by exotic life
was mesmerized
by dark eyes
dark skin
dark grace, and
pride.
Your strength
seduces me.
And
I am left hungering.
