Drummer and Dancer

Drummed the drum the drummer boy
to the beat of his heart
to the sighing of his desire
woven within the goat skin

he drummed on his desires
golden in his fold
glistening with anticipation
as he beat his drum
to the frantic shaking of her hips

the dancer, eyes closed
full lips on half open mouth
as if anticipating a kiss
from the wanton air of desire

drum frantic now
her feet on the dusts in frenzy
he felt his sweat flow down his back
between the mound beneath
his breath exploded in his chest

the dance ended
coins thrown into the basket
sweet sounds
the drummer and the dancer bowed
and exited into the mundane
