Parched Music Poem by Diana van den Berg
Parched Music

The cruel sun shone.
The rich brown naked backs
rippled with muscles
as the strong Zulus worked rhythmically.
As their backs straightened,
the picks rose in an arc above their heads,
stayed a moment, poised like the heads of rearing snakes
and descended with a crash on the dry, baked earth.
1961
