children pull at ripe mangoes
golden juice streaks down
naked brown bodies
fragrances of summer flowers
waltz around
sunrays slant off white teeth
giggles flow out in chorus
with song of birds
returning to their nests
sunset covers vision with dusky silk
lightning prances across
chocolate horizons
charismatic clouds gather earth
in ardent embrace
sprinkle happy melodies
lusty sea-waves roar with jealousy
rise and then
flatten like satiated beasts
children toss sucked mango skins
into the frothy waters
dance on wet sands
as stars become brighter in the sky
