Celebrating With Thunder

When a community is visited by thunder all go out to celebrate, dancing and singing yet the dance is one that is undesirable and the song is one that few can chant People dance on their heads with thunder on ribs wriggle themselves in mocking joy without adjudicators people dance legs off celebrating with thunder leisure undesired When a community is visited by thunder lightning strikes across landscape all over and rainfall goes for sabbatical leave far with free hand the players show all skills Curiosity of children and women starved Those caught in between call their mothers Mothers call their mothers’ mothers loudly With hope that they can open closed gates
