Grasp on the ground

with one ear
touched to the ground
the other
open towards the sun
I listen
for the pulse
of time gone by
and years to come

soft dance
of bare feet
laughter and joy
drums
stampede and cries
a drop
of water
of blood
bones
in damp soil
footprints
sealing the earth
impressions

tickly grass
overgrows
the ground's memory
but deep down
by rays of sun
infiltrating
the earth
I hear
dark secrets
being whispered
