the sky unfolds before me--
a vast and humbling plain
portending magnificent shows
of color and light and sound--
the last and final cry
of the wild African day--
harsh, primal, unbridled--
the ultimate authority,
exhibitionist, proud sky.
I am less afraid than amazed,
more reverent than amused.
And as I walk my feet
leave prints next to the elephants'.
