& the echoes come ah! coming like a trudge of nature’s drums of light horns & urgent trumpeters setting my home aflame with songs! songs! to remind the lords of their ancient drum-beats - songs! to remind the maidens of the moon-light dance! of new drum-beats songs! of ever-coming millennia clan-kings - & she seeing saw it all the temple up the crest of a thousand mounts – & she hearing heard a full trump a full blast of mixt songs with drum-beats from village huts near her niger’s banks near her neophyte’s nest - in came her song-throated maidens like my mbari dancers near nri clan in came her retinue her century-old pages drumming dancing with the hosts of the ever-coming millennia clan-kings
