The drum
reserved for the feast
has lost its skin

and

the drummer
meant to caress her
to sound
has lost his hands

How then
will the feast
be celebrated?

Get a skin for the drum
oil it
that it shines brightly
and tune her
that she release
a perfect melody

Let us hold hands
as we pray
that the ancient
may restore to the drummer
that which is lost
that his hands
may once again
give sound.

Amin When the skin and hand is restored, joy is restored to our lives and land.

Indeed it is.
Things fall in place with that restoration
