Native Fly: Palmwine Play

Palm Wine

Palm wine Play

1. It was some time ago no pea-cocking or ego
2. Innocent and untouched like virgin forest
3. Then grasses covered bottles attuned for palm wine
4. Flies also sipped, it was creamy and white as milk
5. From daddy’s cup the little kids drank
6. Inspiring, their play was full of fun
7. Pretending to be drunk; if not already
8. Staggering, damping the eyes
9. Rolling out the eyeballs,
10. Stooping and soliloquizing
11. Playing with sands, throwing pillows and falling
12. Along the long narrow corridor
13. Running for more, to daddy’s refilling cup
14. To drink the universe large and play all night long.
