Red Cone-Day 71-Womade

Today in Botanic Park
world music plays
peaceful people
slumber on the grass
or dance in crowded clumps
the sun beats down
competing with the rhythm
speakers talk about climate
Buddhist monks chant
musicians wander around
food stalls supply treats
hats, wraps, colourful clothes
kids zones, water sprays
water fountains run all day
and the heat beats down
as we look for shade
seems I am always
seeking
shelter
