'limbo dance' image from google dot com

resounding drum beats -
synchronicity of minds
rippling muscle

wild frenzy of flames -
drumming bends dancers writhing
lower and lower

beneath limbo bars
squatting dancers dare emerge -
drum and flesh union

Loved the series ... it's been years since I've seen the limbo done and that looked so exciting and your words were compelling.
