A joyous dance in the pouring rain
Wet skirts twisting
Turning against brown legs
And bare feet
Open mouths and closed eyes
The face of ecstasy
Hair wrapping around naked shoulders
Rippling wet
Grass in between toes and
mud-speckled calves
They dance
And sing
And shout
The beauty of it all
Warm skin cooled by warmer rain
The smell of blue
Twilight descends
Wrapping its fingers around the rain dancers
Joy drunk and spent
They dance on
The dance of the ancients
The beauty of feet upon
Hard earth - soft grass
The incessant plague
Proverbial blessing
And so they dance
