Green Curry and Mango

Heat of the beat

Sweet moves

Multi-coloured swirls of skirts and shirts

Skin grooves

Heavy thump on the one

Snare drum

Fly swatter crack

Once in awhile

Guitar click-a-chick

Sway hips

Gentle flag of the tent top

Cotton lid to this pressure cooker pot

Invisible thick ribbon just below

The nose

Stewed goat, green curry, sweet mango

Everyone drawn in to the sweet sweat

Beat in the heat; big grins

Swing those hips and wag the chin

Let’s go

Goat, green curry and mango

The circus man said,
“I’ll set myself on fire,
You can watch me burn.
If my light gets low,
Let me know,
I’ll take a drink
And stoke it up again.”©
