man at the drum - 1984

strange                 incessant rhythm
and lyric Latin melody  

of revolutionary dance from
El Salvador and 

we are on our feet moving
empathetic tent billowing in the wind 

but my eyes draw to
man at the drum 

hands    sudden     violent
bite the stretched skin 

face       young       smooth
yet resolved and ready 

eyes
like swords
stabbing out
searching for the hope of
understanding
