Heartbeat

A beating drum
A beating heart
Darkness outside
The pulse beats far, far away from my body
This pulse finds levity with the red earth
This pulse moves with the breath of cattle
With the heat steamed breath from cow to calf
in the kraal,
cloud breath bubble against the Highveld winter
beating as steady as a well practiced drummer
finding rhyme,  finding meaning.
