Gold and brown
The dead dance around
Scratching at the ground
Keeping rhythm to the howling sounds
Red and green
The living speak their plea
Whistling their screams
Shaking with fear to the music they hear
Gold and brown
The dead are free to move about
Singing in a crackling sound
Beckoning the living to come down
Red and green
The living cling to their mothers limbs
Begging for protection
From the living dead
Try as she may to protect her children
The mother gives way
Bowing down to those before
Reaching out her limbs
So that she may touch them once again
The wind subsides
Gold and brown the dead lay down
Red and green the living stop their screams
Mother stands up tall
Happy to have seen her lost children from before
Oblivious of bare places on her limbs
Where some of her children once lived
She will see them again
And reach out to them
The next time there is wind
