Dancing in Trance: Drenched in the Divine
by Kavita Venkateswar
Flutes of the bamboo tremble
The thrum of the gamelan
Resonates under my feet
Strike of the mallet
Metallophones ring
Strings, rebab, rise
In symphony
Cacophony
I tremble
Flutter
Quake
Crash!
It is she
She comes for us
Crash of the gong wadoan
pendulous breasts swinging, white scarf ‘round her head
here enters ...
