between my knees
i hold you
palms open
i stroke your skin
circular gestures
warm
awaken
i tap
timidly
unsure
you respond
vibrational whisper
baritone
your reply
coaxes me
for more
i relax
more confident
tap again
around me
others echo
bass, tone, slap
eyes close
body sways
breath flows
hands beat
wrists pulse
feet tap
tempo quickens
euphonic tapestry
dulcet harmony
rhythms of the earth
colors of the rainbow
celestial crescendo
aural prisms beckon
voice of our origin
ancestral choir
together one
language of djembe
