               【Bush Dance】  

 

                By Tian Yu Zhi

 

A male greater Kudu with tall spiral horns,

Stands in front of a femal kudu, 

Whistles low pitched calls,

She doesn’t pull away from the neck wrestle, 

Nor from the tight limb hugs, not so subtle 

 

Similar body moves, rhythms, breathing 

Seen in the nearby Boma dinner show 

They are dressed, play with leather drums, 

painted faces with flowers 

A man approaches a woman, offers her a glass

 

The sun sets in shades of red, gold, purple

The night is still young

She sees the Milky Way, the Southern Cross,

For the first time, from a new, different angle

As her ancestors did, 3 million years ago 

 

 

 

Learned and danced with this song in Africa, a great song, the dance moves were really fun!
