Men gather
forms a circle
the tribe
gathers about
the drums
are placed
the flames
of the fire pit
centers the circle
shoots high
into the night
wood burst
fire sparkles
now all is ready
as the drums
beat onward
as the tribe
answers with
subtle moves
to the beat
of the drummin'
individually
some turns
some dance
up and down
in the same spot
not movin'
beyond but
stationery
all are chanting
dancing
turning
and beating
the drums
drummin'
unceasingly,
with the women
stamping
their feet
to the beat
of the drums
and little boys
learning the beat
of the drums
and little girls
learn the stamping
dancing
turning and both
boys and girls
all chanting
to the beat
of the drums
drummin'
into the night
with the fire
roaring high
above its
central core
amidst the
constant beat
of the drums
drummin'
what is the
tribes tradition.
