The Summon

I heard the summon,

The sound was tiny and strong;

I found myself in the abyss;

So I drift along,

So black as the pit,

My ears flaps like the hare,

its thickness fiercely bites,

So I heard the clicking snare;

The gods provoked,

While Clansmen despaired;

The rulers stole again from the coffers,

The gods declared!

Three cowries were amiss;

Of a bone, brass and brick;

Their lips left of the crimson stains,

Dwindling light, so gone the wick.
