Beside the fire
a man begins
a rhythmic
drone
and another
man is roused
to song
and another
and another
+
I can’t say
where it comes from
the urge in me
to sing
along
but
soon
I too
become
night
music—
not a
woman
+
but the shape
of song
that belongs
more to all
than any
one can
make
like how
seven sisters
constellate
