Text of the Poem "The Mystic Drum"
The mystic drum in my inside
and fishes danced in the rivers
and men and women danced on land
to the rhythm of my drum
But standing behind a tree
with leaves around her waist
she only smiled with a shake of her head.
Still my drum continued to beat,
rippling the air with quickened
tempo compelling the quick
and the dead to dance and sing
with their shadows -
But standing behind a tree
with leaves around her waist
she only smiled with a shake of her head.
Then the drum beat with the rhythm
of the things of the ground
and invoked the eye of the sky
the sun and the moon and the river gods -
and the trees bean to dance,
the fishes turned men
and men turned fishes
and things stopped to grow -
But standing behind a tree
with leaves around her waist
she only smiled with a shake of her head.
And then the mystic drum
in my inside stopped to beat -
and men became men,
fishes became fishes
and trees, the sun and the moon
found their places, and the dead
went to the ground and things began to grow.
And behind the tree she stood
with roots sprouting from her
feet and leaves growing on her head
and smoke issuing from her nose
and her lips parted in her smile
turned cavity belching darkness.
Then, then I packed my mystic drum
and turned away; never to beat so loud any more.
